Peaches Christ (stage name for Joshua Grannell; born January 7, 1974) is an American underground drag performer, emcee, filmmaker, and actor.[2] Peaches currently resides in San Francisco where her Backlash Production Company and Midnight Mass movie series are based.[3] 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.[4] Grannell developed the Peaches Christ character during the production of this film.

Her Midnight Mass road-show and Short Film Retrospective have been on tour and appeared in Seattle, Berkeley, New York City, Brussels, Belgium, and Lausanne, Switzerland.[5]

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. The event included ten years of costume design by long-time collaborator Tria Connell and ten years of graphic design by artist Chris Hatfield.[6][7]
