Alvah Klempt is a New York–based drag queen and the Jewish mother you never asked for. With her original comedy and signature “cool mom” aesthetic, Alvah has successfully imposed herself on both the New York City drag scene and the Jewish community at large. She has starred in high-profile NYC productions including Sinners’ Shabbat and LalapaJEWza: A Christmas Eve Drag Spectacular, and has headlined events in Boston, Denver, Portland, and beyond.

Many of Alvah’s performances have gone viral online—most notably her portrayal of drag Bernie Sanders—and her work has been featured in NY Jewish Week, Hey Alma, The Jewish Independent, and more. Alvah can be found performing throughout NYC, in Jewish communities across the country, and wherever there isn’t an active restraining order.
