The career of Peaches Christ began when her male alter-ego Joshua Grannell was still a student at Penn State University. Grannell created the character for a film he was creating as part of his studies, but eventually found his creation taking over his life. Peaches Christ had been born, and Grannell had to take a back seat to her persona! She's gone on to be a drag performer in the underground scene, as well as making her own films and performing as an emcee.
Christ's major contribution to the drag scene was the creation of the 'Midnight Mass' movie events in San Francisco, which began in 1998 and attracted sell-out crowds every year up until the 12th and final event in 2009. Since then, she's been touring a collection of short films across both America and Europe and mixing it with singing and comedy. She's always felt attached to the 'Trannyshack' stage show, which is where she started in 1996, and continues to make appearances there.
