As we celebrate Pride 2026, this week’s guest represents the heart, resilience, creativity, and joy that make our community so special. By day, Joey serves the people of New Orleans as a dedicated civil servant. But when the lights come up and the music starts, audiences know and love her as the bold, hilarious, and unforgettable Debbie with a D. From behind the bar at some of New Orleans’ most notable restaurants to on the stage at historic, grand theaters. Debbie has the deets, hunny. 
A familiar face throughout New Orleans nightlife and Pride celebrations, Debbie has built a reputation for bringing glamour, comedy, authenticity, and compassion everywhere she goes. She’s more than a performer — she’s a personality, a community advocate, and someone who reminds people to unapologetically be themselves.

Let’s kiki and celebrate Pride, individuality, and the magic of New Orleans with the one and only Debbie with a D.
