And when she isn\u2019t purposefully making Kayla one of the queerest characters on this already inclusive show, Stalter uses her to show off the irreverent style of comedy this performer has quickly become known for.<\/p>\n<p>Stalter has taken every chance to make audiences laugh (and sometimes cringe) in the four years since Hacks\u2019 premiere. She famously acted as one of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race\u2019s most awkward guest judges ever\u2014to the utter delight of RuPaul himself\u2014and even had the starring role in Lena Dunham\u2019s Netflix romantic comedy Too Much. \u201cI would describe my work as bizarre, perfect, life changing,\u201d explained Stalter. \u201cAnd smarter than people that don\u2019t get me think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even with all this under her belt, the comedian is showing no sign of slowing down. Whether it\u2019s breaking the internet with her coffee cup-themed dress at the VMAs or using the Emmys red carpet to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, Stalter has quickly proven herself to be one of the most eye-catching, influential queer performers today.
