Biography[edit]
Tante Gaby was one of the most experienced drag queens from Montreal. Practicing for over 32 years, she began her career when drag queens were referred to as "transvestites". Her first performances was when she dressed up as Bette Midler for Halloween. Tante Gaby then worked at the Cabaret L'Entrepeau, Complexe Sky, and the now-defunct Club Play.[1] She also worked as a shooter girl and DJ at the District Vidéo Lounge in the Montreal Gay Village.
Tante Gaby began her career as Gabrielle Pier, but took the title of tante (aunt) due to her dresses using 1960s and 70s style.[2]
She died on 8 June 2020 at the age of 57.[3]
