Sami Landri

The multidisciplinary Acadian artist Samuel Landry found success through their alter ego, the “trash-chic drag queen with spicy humor”: 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 their character posed the now-iconic question “As-tu un lighter?” on TikTok, in countless videos liked and shared by millions of fans across the French-speaking world. Since then, Sami has multiplied television appearances, interviews, and live shows in Canada and Europe, while helping to popularize Chiac, Acadian culture, and queer struggles with humor, irony, intelligence, and charisma. Who needs a lighter when you shine this bright?
