Peaches Christ
Peaches Christ is the impresario of “Midnight Mass with your Hostess Peaches Christ,” San Francisco’s hugely popular midnight movie event. The elaborate pre-show stage productions, guest stars, and drag spectacles continue to draw sell-out crowds. Whether Ms. Christ is naked and exploding from a volcano, refereeing drag queen roller-derby, or interviewing special guests Mink Stole, Tura Satana, John Waters, Elvira, or Mary Woronov, a good time is had by all.
Peaches Christ is an underground drag phenomenon, emcee, filmmaker,actor, and part time cult-leader. Ms. Christ currently resides in San Francisco where her Backlash Production Company and Midnight Mass movie series are based. Her Midnight Mass road show and Short Film Retrospective have been on tour and appeared in Seattle, Berkeley, New York, and Brussels. Peaches stars in a number of short films written and directed by her alter-ego, Joshua Grannell, which are now available on DVD. In 2007 the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco hosted a retrospective, A Decade of Peaches Christ, at the de Young Museum.
