A Toast!
Lyrics By Karel Music by Morgan Mallory
Performed by Morgan Mallory
Oscar was a man so wilde
And their judgment wasn’t mild
Went to jail for being gay
Writing all along the way
His characters jumped off the page
And to this day, he’s all the rage
He wasn’t shy, he’d sometimes boast
And that is why we have this toast.
So Raise A glass and
Toast
Today you are the
most
A star from coast
To coast
You’re shining bright
It is your night
So Raise a Glass and
Toast
You act, you sing, you play
Get millions through the day
Your art inspires
The stars conspire
And now, you get a toast!
Who knows, one day, a roast!
So Raise A glass and
Toast
Today you are the
most
A star from coast
To coast
You’re shining bright
It is your night
So Raise a Glass and
Toast

Groundbreaking Comic, Singer and Actress Lea DeLaria Honors the LGBTQ Shows!
Groundbreaking Comic, Singer and Actress Lea DeLaria Honors The LGBTQ Shows at the Dorians TV Toast 2020 on Revry
We all got a big kick back when she was playing Carrie “Big Boo” Black on the groundbreaking women-in-prison dramedy Orange is the New Black. But there’s more to Lea DeLaria’s repertoire than getting feisty in an orange jumpsuit. Sure, she was the first openly gay standup comic to perform on a late-night talk show – 1993, Arsenio Hall, people! – but did ya know she’s a wildly popular jazz singer with six albums under her belt!
In fact, Ms. Delaria seems to have achieved overnight stardom with her two time, SAG Award winning, stand-out role as ‘Carrie ‘Big Boo’ Black’ in the Netflix hit series “Orange is the New Black.” However, DeLaria’s multi- faceted career as a comedian, actress and jazz musician, has in fact, spanned decades.
Lea holds the distinction of being the first openly gay comic on television in America which led to countless Television and Film roles portraying Police Lieutenants, PE Teachers and the Lesbian who inappropriately hits on straight women. Selected TV credits: “Broad City,” “Baroness Von Sketch,” “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” “Awkward,” “Clarence,” “Californication,” “The Oblongs,” “One Live to Live,” “Law and Order: SVU,” “Will and Grace,” “Friends” & “Matlock.” Selected Film credits: Cars 3, Support The Girls, First Wives Club, Dear Dumb Diary, Edge of Seventeen.
She’s received Obie & Theater World Awards, and a Drama Desk nomination for her portrayal as ‘Hildy’ in the Public Theatre’s revival of On The Town, an Ovation nomination for The Boys From Syracuse, and has played both Eddie & Dr. Scott in the gender-bending Broadway musical The Rocky Horror Show.
Lea was the featured vocalist at the 50th Anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival, and has performed in some of the most prestigious houses in the world including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Chicago Symphony, Hollywood Bowl, The Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House.
Lea has five records on the Warner Jazz and Classics label and her book “Lea’s Book of Rules for the World” is in its third printing at Bantam Doubleday and Dell.
Her sixth record, House Of David delaria+bowie=jazz, was released in the Summer of 2015 to critical acclaim.

Rising Comedian Annie Murphy, Supporting TV Actress Champ
ANNIE MURPHY: Best Supporting TV Performance—Actress“Alexis Rose” on Schitt’s Creek@annefrancesPrevious to slaying it as vapid but caring 20something Alexis Rose on Creek (you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Annie/Alexis sing her signature pop would-be hit “A Little Bit Alexis”), Annie Murphy notched roles in hit Canadian series like Rookie Blue and Flashpoint. She also has appeared on the stage in Montreal and Toronto.
The Ottowa-born Murphy, who was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work on the show, wrote, produced and acted in The Plateaus, a CBC web series that featured Elisha Cuthbert, Jay Baruchel, Sam Roberts and Kevin MacDonald. She is a graduate of both the Canadian Film Centre Actors’ Conservatory and the Theatre Performance Program at Concordia University.
