Peaches Christ (stage name for Joshua Grannell; born January 7, 1974) is an American underground drag performer, emcee, filmmaker, and actor. Peaches currently resides in San Francisco, where her Backlash Production Company and Midnight Mass movie series are based. Grannell studied film at Penn State University, where his senior thesis film Jizzmopper: A Love Story, about a janitor at an adult video store, won the audience award at the annual Penn State Student Film Festival. Grannell developed the Peaches Christ character during the production of this film. Her Midnight Mass road show Short Film Retrospective has been on tour, appearing in Seattle, Berkeley, New York City, Brussels, Belgium, and Lausanne, Switzerland. On September 7, 2007, the San Francisco de Young Museum hosted a "Decade of Peaches Christ Retrospective" called Cattychism featuring artistic contributions inspired by Peaches.
