Lady Betty BBQ is the persona used by a German drag queen and entertainer based in Freiburg im Breisgau, a city in the Black Forest region in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Betty BBQ commented on her homepage that it was important to Redneck Jack and her not to disfigure Das lila Lied for the sake of a remix but to give the song a dignified remix- and party-gown which does not let the message and fight of homosexual people turn into a discobeat shell.
Betty BBQ stresses that her occupation as a Black Forest Drag Queen made the Heimat she was denied as a child accessible to her again and that she has now obtained a permanent and acknowledged place in local society.
[6][7] Equally relevant to Betty BBQ is the gifting of a song that was written and composed at the end of September 2021 with party singer Schromme Schlachtschiff for Freiburg Sport-Club fans.
[17][18][19] After several gigs as Betty BBQ at numerous events,[20] she made her first appearance as a traditional "Black Forest girl" at the Ganter Oktoberfest [21] Since 2015, she has hosted city tours of Freiburg, which have seen about 5.000 guests p.a.
[22] She was honored by the two major online travel agencies, GetYourGuide and Tripadvisor, the latter one listing Betty BBQ's tours as part of the top 10% of recreational activities globally.
In November 2020, she partook in the campaign Kulturgesichter 0761, which was composed of local artists and promoters who wanted to point to the difficulties cultural workers had to face due to the pandemic and its economical consequences.
