Queen Hilaria Gastrognome (Queen Lari, pronounced “Larry”) aka Jen Jay, is a Eugene comedian, community goblin, and two-time Eugene Weekly “Best Comedian” winner whose performances have been described as “a cupcake and a psych eval at the same time.” A queer fat femme force of nature in big boots and bigger feelings, she’s shared stages with comics including Ron Funches, Amy Miller, and Sam Miller across the PNW.

As Slug Queen, Hilaria Gastrognome brings punk gnome glamour, civic sass, and enough biodegradable glitter to emotionally confuse a city council meeting. Her reign promises radical joy, local weirdness, mutual aid, gardening puns, and the occasional sliming of the patriarchy.

Part performance art, part neighborhood auntie, part cryptid found behind a community garden, Queen Lari leaves behind a shimmering trail of laughter, solidarity, and suspiciously well-seasoned revolutionary soup.
