In Bed With Myra Dubois

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , ,

 

Usually, when one of the Queerguru team ‘falls in love” working on the Blog, it’s with some impossibly good-looking man/up-and-coming actor/lifeguard/model etc ….. you get the drift.  However this time our (happily married) Editor In Chief has fallen for a hilariously quick-witted woman with the most wicked sense of humor.  This Brit woman hailing from a working class  (and dare we say ‘uninspiring’) town has taken the world by storm.  We caught up with her in Australia where she is undertaking another Sold Out Tour that will end in Sydney for World Pride 

MYRA DUBOIS is an actress, author, wellness guru, energy worker, and ‘enthusiastic singer’ whose acerbic wit has carved her a unique place as an unlikely queer icon. Miss Dubois is ‘old-school’ from England’s North who started on the Burlesque circuit working her way up and has trod the boards of such prestigious stages as the London Palladium, the London Hippodrome, the Royal Festival Hall, and the Soho Theatre to name but four. Her wicked sense of humor is delivered unfiltered at rapid speed: and she simply takes no prisoners and this has given her a loyal worldwide fan base.

QUEERGURU finally caught up with the charismatic Myra Down Under …. and we should warn that you will find her charm too infectious not to be swept up under her spell.

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , , , ,

Peaches Christ is an American underground drag performer, emcee, filmmaker, and actor who is worshipped as a queer icon in their hometown of San Francisco where they got their first break performing in Heklina’s legendary Tranny Shack back in 1996. One of their many life events since then was the San Francisco de Young Museum actually honored them with a “Decade of Peaches Christ Retrospective”

Peaches is particularly known for their love of horror …the camper the better…having once even directed a star-studded indie slasher movie All About Evil.

We caught up with Peaches on the eve of them taking one of their most famous roles of Mommie Queerest on a mini UK Tour with Heklina. Underneath this wickedly funny parody the show also shows Peaches’s real respect for the cult status of the original movie Charismatic with a real passion for their craft, Peaches is, as always, a sheer joy to talk with

Sister Roma talks with Queerguru about finally making her London Debut

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , ,

 

Sister Roma is one of the original Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence the charitable, protest, and street performance movement that uses drag and religious imagery to satirize issues of sex, gender, and morality. and fundraise for charity. They came about during the AIDS pandemic in San Francisco when they provided a valuable support system, especially for all the gay men who had to cope on their own. Since then they have also raised much-needed funds for AIDS, LGBT-related causes, and mainstream community service organizations while promoting safer sex and educating others about the harmful effects of drug use and other high-risk behavior.

Over the years Sister Roma has become ‘the most photographed nun in the world’ and is also the face of the Sisters as they have continued to support the LGBTQ community on so many levels and are still at the forefront of the continuing fight for equal rights, However despite the serious and important nature of her work Sister Roma has won a reputation for her larger-than-life personality and her wicked sense of humor that has rightly earned her icon status. Querguru tracked her down on the eve of her London stage debut as one of the stars of Peaches Christ’s Christmas Gaiety Show (see https://bit.ly/3RcgpSI) and discovered exactly what this anglophile was so looking forward to.
