Uma Gahd

About

Uma Gahd is featured in Canada’s Drag Race S5 and has a drag career spanning over a decade! She is the Artistic Director for House of Gahd.

Uma Gahd is everyone’s favourite unofficial Auntie. A Broadway babe with a penchant for classic pop culture, she has graced stages across Montréal (including Bar Le Cocktail, Cafe Cléo, Cabaret Mado, and even the illustrious Centaur Theatre!) with her high energy, high concept, and high-larious numbers and hosting! She has written and performed 6 original plays (winners of multiple awards and nominations), including her one-woman show Are You There Margaret? It's Me, Gahd which was in Edinburgh Fringe 2023 and Puerto Vallarta for a one-month residency in 2020.

If you haven’t seen Gahd in the flesh yet, where have you been? Psst... you might have also seen her at Just for Laughs, in her series for the SAQ Quelque chose de cute!, or even at a drag story time, since she is also a qualified early childhood educator!
