“Offering jokes as NFTs is unique because ownership of the original idea is now yours. Your art comes with a story, a funny one, and you get to be part of the story. It’s like going to Christie’s to impress an artefact, a moment in time. This moment happens to be a jokesays Lamarr.
Lamarr, who first came to prominence in 2020 after joining then-private social audio app Clubhouse and cultivating a 100,000+ member club (“Hot on the Mic”), returned to the stage in 2022 with her highly anticipated tour and performed her live show NFTs (Nice F*cking Titties) during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – she combines her passions for comedy, art and technology to perform funny bits about life, sex, COVID-19 and Web3.
Since 2021, she has been labeled as one of the industry’s freshest and sassiest stand-up comedians performing funny bits about life, sex, COVID-19 and NFTs. With 600,000 followers across social media, Lamarr presents a fun take on otherwise serious conversations that often occur through Web3 – most recently, the demise of FTX and Celsius.
With nearly 600,000 followers across social media, Lamarr has continued to capitalize on the club’s success as a powerfully refreshing voice in Web3, bringing humor to otherwise serious conferences, festivals and events. She was named 2021’s “Entertainer of the Year” by TIME Magazine’s Web3 division – TIMEPieces.
