Pussy Tourette is the stage name for an American drag queen, composer and singer.

She is best known for her single "French Bitch", for which a music video/short film directed by Andrei Rozen was made and included in the film festival compilation DVD Boys' Shorts: The New Queer Cinema. The song is a comedic, high camp dance track about the duplicitous title character who "saw my man, so she felt the need to scratch her itch". There is a mild lyrical suggestion that the subject has had an overseas sex-change operation, though this must be inferred by the listener. The chorus is sung in Franglish and contains the double entendre "Je suis oh-so-hot! Vous vu lay my twat, s'il vous plait?". The song was remixed for club play and was well received in gay venues, but fell short of being a "hit" in any popular sense.

review by Will Grega

With a gift for self-invention, this fiercest of drag divas constructs the myth and legend of Pussy Tourette while simultaneously deconstructing queer misconceptions. From the New Orleans Dr. John camp of "If I Can't Sell It..." to the gritty Led Zeppelin-influenced heavy blues of "Free Pussy," it's clear that Ms. Tourette is not the girl next door. Tourette has a streetwise, gritty gift for blues-rock. "French Bitch" is an instant queer classic (the video has more slaps per minute than any other music video in history).
