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]
