Lace Larrabee
If you haven’t heard of Lace Larrabee, you will soon. Lace is a nationally touring comedian, actress, and host whose debut comedy album, White Trash Cinderella, produced by 800 Pound Gorilla Records, sealed the number one spot on the comedy charts. The accompanying YouTube special amassed over 1 million views and counting.
A former southern beauty queen, Lace ditched the pageants but kept her dominant stage presence, unrivaled timing and trademark sass. As a season 17 semifinalist on America’s Got Talent, America loved her charming wit so much, NBC brought her back to roast Simon Cowell alongside Roastmaster General himself, Jeff Ross. Lace turned her appearance on AGT into a Vegas residency as host of America’s Got Talent Superstars Live.
