Dina Martina is an American cabaret and theatre entertainer whose hilarious performances are characterised by a “different” type of singing, mixed with peculiar storytelling and costumes that other entertainers might not choose to wear.
‘Dina Martina is hilarious like no one else I know.’
‘Genius, surreal, bizarre, and always hilarious. The world of Dina pushes past all limits.’
Since her 1989 debut at Seattle’s Center on Contemporary Art, she has gone on to thrill capacity audiences at Seattle’s ACT Theatre, London’s Soho Theatre, San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Her shows, such as Sedentary Lady, Chariots of Failure, and Forgotten But Not Gone, as well as the annual Dina Martina Christmas Show, have garnered a dedicated following. Not unlike the late, great Peter Allen, Dina Martina is bi-coastal and splits her time between Seattle and Provincetown.
Over the years, Dina Martina has been hailed as ‘divinely funny’ (Time Out), ‘the most original drag performer in America today’ (Village Voice), ‘as graceful as a Coke machine moving about on a hand truck’ (Seattle PI) and has garnered a star-studded list of admirers including Eric Idle, Jennifer Coolidge, Graham Norton, Bridget Everett, Christopher Meloni and Chloë Sevigny.
