The Jewish mother you never asked for.
Called “the Jewish drag queen of your dreams” by the People Jew Wanna Know podcast, Alvah Klempt is sure to have you schvitzing. Since moving to New York City in 2024, she has made a name for herself in both the NYC drag scene and the Jewish community at large, headlining events in Boston, Washington, D.C., Denver, and beyond.
Alvah has been featured in the New York Times, New York Jewish Week, Moment magazine, and more, and recently appeared alongside Sally Field on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Many of her performances have gone viral online – most notably her performance as Bernie Sanders, which earned her a featured guest appearance on Pattie Gonia’s national SAVE HER! Tour.
Alvah can be found performing throughout NYC, in Jewish communities across the country, and wherever there isn’t an active restraining order.
