DESCRIPTION:Most recently known for her portrayal of Big Boo on Orange is the New 
 Black, Lea DeLaria is an American comedienne, actress, and jazz musician.  
 \n\nDeLaria has performed stand-up comedy for more than 25 years and is the 
 first openly gay comic to break the late-night talk-show barrier with her 
 appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1993.  She began her career billing 
 herself as "That [expletive] Dyke," explaining that when she walked down 
 the street, people would yell that at her. In December 1993, she hosted 
 Comedy Central's Out There, the first all-gay stand-up comedy special. 
 \n\nDeLaria is also known for her touring "musical comedy about perverts," 
 Dos Lesbos (1987-1989) as well as Girl Friday, a comedy she conceived, 
 wrote, directed and starred in, and which won the 1989 Golden Gull for Best 
 Comedy Group in Provincetown, Massachusetts. \n\nDeLaria appeared as Jane 
 in the 1998 Off Broadway production of Paul Rudnick's The Most Fabulous 
 Story Ever Told, described as "a gay retelling of the Bible." Entertainment 
 Weekly said "a star is born with Lea DeLaria" of her "show stopping" 
 performance as Hildy Esterhazy in the 1998 Broadway revival of On the Town. 
 \n\nDeLaria integrates musical performance into her stand-up comedy, 
 focusing on traditional and modern be-bop jazz. In 2001 she released a CD 
 of jazz standards called Play It Cool. This was followed by the album 
 Double Standards in 2003 and by The Very Best of Lea DeLaria in 2008. 
 \n\nIn 1999, DeLaria played the recurring role of Madame Delphina on the 
 ABC soap opera One Life to Live, returning in 2008 as both Delphina and 
 Professor Delbert Fina. She continues to portray Delphina on a recurring 
 basis as of 2011. \n\nIn 2008, Warner Records released The Live Smoke 
 Sessions; DeLaria's first recording focused on timeless pop standards.  In 
 July 2010, DeLaria's version of "All That Jazz" was used on So You Think 
 You Can Dance. She is now working on an album of David Bowie covers.\n
