Peaches Christ, a bona-fide direct descendant of Jesus, is an accomplished emcee, actress, producer, and part-time cult-leader. Ms. Christ currently resides in San Francisco where her company Peaches Christ Productions is based. Her Midnight Mass events and Short Film Retrospective, entitled “An Evening With Peaches Christ”, have been witnessed by thousands of now-converts not only all across the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and parts of Europe.Discovered lurking in a dark but distinctly glamorous recess of central Pennsylvania, near Lewisburg, Peaches found her way to the Bay Area in 1996 with the assistance of one Joshua Grannell. Following in the footsteps of her namesake, it was here in San Francisco that Peaches took pity on a lowly, unloved drag queen named Martiny, elevating her to a position which Martiny could never have possibly achieved on her own, that of sidekick. Soon Peaches Christ became a celebrated fixture at the now legendary drag club, Trannyshack.Since then Peaches has become the most well known queen on the west coast! I just adore her! And how many queens can say they had a wig snatched by Cloris Leachman!!!!
She was just in Toronto recently with her one-woman show "Peaches Christ Superstar." The show received lots of attention and got good reviews actually, once people got past the premise of a drag queen doing a serious rendition of every role in JC Superstar. I would have loved to have seen it but alas, Toronto is far, far away from Edmonton.
