Sami Landri
About
Acadian multidisciplinary artist Samuel Landry found success through their alter ego, the “trashy, sharp-witted” drag queen Sami Landri.
Through the art of drag, Landry made waves in their native New Brunswick, being crowned Acadian Queen in 2020. The following year, they went viral when Sami famously asked, “Got a lighter?” in a series of TikTok videos loved and shared by millions across the Francophone world. Since then, Sami has multiplied appearances on TV, in interviews, and on stages across Canada and Europe — helping to spotlight Chiac, Acadian culture, and queer struggles with humor, irony, intelligence, and charisma.
Who needs a lighter when you shine this bright?
