Daphne Always: Sumtimez, Always–Still?!

Former drag queen and current hyperactive transsexual Daphne Always (née Sumtimez) makes her Laurie Beechman debut in Sumtimez, Always–Still?! Join her for a night of tender reflection, absurdist trans parody songs, and shameless indulgence, all set against the gorgeous musical backdrop of Daphne’s pianist and Long Island pal, James Sheppard. Come out to feel the unique electricity, warmth, and intrigue of occupying a seat at a Daphne Always show!

Daphne Always is a trans cabaret artist based in New York. Starting as a drag queen (by the name Daphne Sumtimez), her explorations of nightlife and gender have landed her on the stages of the Met, Joe’s Pub, Club Cumming, and The Green Room 42, among others. She met her musical director, James Sheppard, in their performance in Sasha Velour’s NIGHTGOWNS in 2017, and the duo has been creating ridiculous-but-insightful cabarets ever since.
