My wife and I ordered all the episodes of OITNB that are available and had a marathon viewing session. We really weren't aware of deLaria until then but we're glad we "discovered" her!

She's really funny in stand-up, though.

and the fact she is a singer isn't mentioned. When I first met Lea back in the mid-80s she was just a singer and a regular on the Women's Music circuit.
