Amy Lamé

Amy Lamé (née Caddle; born 3 January 1971) is an American-British performer, writer, media presenter, and former public official. She is known for her one-woman shows, her performance group Duckie, LGBT-themed media works, and her controversial service as London's "Night Czar".

Lamé was appointed by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, as the city's first Night Czar in November 2016, with the responsibility of promoting London's varied nightlife both in the UK and internationally, including safeguarding venues across the city.

Amy Lamé was born and raised in Keyport, New Jersey, and moved to London in 1992.

She is a lesbian and is married to Jennie (née Hogan), her partner since 1995.

Lamé presented alongside Danny Baker on BBC London's afternoon show which aired 3–5pm from Monday to Friday. On 1 November 2012, it was reported by Danny Baker that the show had been axed and that Lamé earned £50 per episode.

She was the co-founder and co-presenter of HomoLab, a weekly queer cultural and current affairs podcast, which ran from December 2010 to June 2014.

Having sat in for a number of DJs on BBC Radio 6 Music (including Tom Ravenscroft, Lauren Laverne, Nemone, and Steve Lamacq), Lamé began hosting her own weekly Sunday show on the station from January 2018, replacing Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service.

Lamé was a presenter on the BBC 2 show GaytimeTV for 3 series and then went on to create and host her own panel game-show, The Staying in Show for Channel 4. Lamé has appeared on ITV reality show Celebrity Fit Club. She was a panellist on Loose Women in 2004 and CelebAir, and on Market Kitchen. She was the mentor for LGBTQ teenagers on Channel 4's My Big Gay Prom.
