Biography
A graduate of Concordia University,[4] she began performing stand-up and musical cabaret shows in Montreal in 2013.[5] In 2016, she and collaborator Thomas Leblanc launched Saint Céline, a cabaret show devoted to Céline Dion. It was staged again in 2017 and 2018 due to its popularity.[6] In 2019, Wintour and Leblanc launched the podcast Chosen Family.[7]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic she participated in Saint-Jeanne, an LGBTQ-inclusive Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day livestream coordinated by singer-songwriter Safia Nolin, alongside Kiara, Karl Hardy, Gabrielle Tremblay, Annie Sama (Apigeon), Backxwash, FLORAA, Matante Alex and Gisèle Lullaby.[8] In 2020 she released her debut musical album Safe From Your Affection, comprising original and cover songs.[9]
In 2022 she appeared in Big Brother Célébrités. Although fluently bilingual she was not well-known to Quebec's francophone audiences, and was hailed as a breakout star of the show.[10] Later in the year she performed in the stand-up comedy series Comedy Night with Rick Mercer.[4]
She appeared on The Traitors Canada in 2024,[11] finishing the season as the runner-up.
