Pearl may be relatively new to the drag world, but there's no doubt she's quickly rising to the top! Stepping into drag for the first time only a year and a half ago, Pearl has already made a big name for herself. Soon after her initial exposure, she was invited to perform in shows throughout Chicago. She has worked diligently over the past year to hone her craft and go outside her comfort zone to reach her maximum potential.
Pearl is the epitome of glamorous, drawing inspiration from the Stepford Wives and old Hollywood glam divas. She has worked to create soft edges, but don’t let this demure fool you: Pearl is an absolute machine when performing! When she takes the stage, Pearl focuses on creating an eclectic performance piece. Whether she’s performing a throwback from the 90s, or working it out to a modern mechanical soundtrack, she knows how to please an audience until they are begging for more.

Over the past year, Pearl has been a guest performer and host at many clubs and parties throughout the city, sharing the stage with legends like Amanda Lepore and Carmen Carrera. She currently performs monthly at Neverland’s ‘Drag Carnage’ show, and hosts her own show, ‘Pleasure,’ in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. Channeling her inner performance artist, ‘Pleasure’ focuses on a more eccentric, stylized show designed to create a truly united queer community.
One show is not enough for this queen! Pearl is launching a brand new show as a spinoff of her first show, called ‘Pain for Pleasure.’ It will be hosted by herself as well as a number of other select artists, with surprise performances at each show. 'Pain for Pleasure' will also be serving up some club kid realness, inviting any guests who come to dress in a way that they truly feel expresses themselves, creating a judgement free zone!
