OH MY GOOOOOD! This week on @midnightmasspod.bsky.social we're heading to Nilbog for TROLL 2 with filmmaker Adam Deyoe and Horrifying Hot Sauce's D. Ryan Mowry. Green goo, goblins, and the best worst cult movie ever. Listen now: peacheschrist.com/midnight-mass/
At the SF finale of Idol Worship, the incomparable Mink Stole surprised me with a screen used prop from Serial Mom, even featured in the Academy Museum’s John Waters: Pope of Trash exhibit. Now it hangs on my wall. Mink, I love you. Thank you for this incredible gift. ❤️ #johnwaters #serialmom
Last night was an honor! I hosted the 25th anniversary celebration of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at The Castro with the brilliant John Cameron Mitchell and Skip the Needle. I've known JCM for 25 years. Visionary artist, generous friend. We love you. Hedwig forever! #HedwigAndTheAngryInch
Saw John Early’s Maddie’s Secret at Opera Plaza in SF. It is a masterpiece! It’s gorgeous, hilarious, moving, & full of twists with Showgirls nods. The whole cast is amazing, but a special shout-out to Maddie’s gorgeous hus-bear who can GET. IT! See the movie! It doesn't suck! @bejohnce.bsky.social
Camp Arawak, what an absolutely insane ride! Thank you to the thousands of campers who joined us across all 9 cities of the Sleepaway Camp: The Midnight Mass Experience tour. We’ll be back on the road in January, so if you’d like to bring us to your town, reach out to bookings@peacheschrist.com.

Shoutout some of your fave local queens who haven’t been on T.V. A few SF faves are Carnie Asada, Cream, Love Diamond, Lavender Keke Marquee, Bobby Friday, Carlota Di Carlo, & Loma Prietta @bobbyfriday.bsky.social
Mother Elvira and T came to see our show in Portland last night! I forgive her for not sneaking my man, Vinny into the Clinton Street Theatre in her purse after I specifically asked her to.
An important message to the citizens of San Francisco from the incomparable cult film icon, MINK STOLE. @midnightmasspod.bsky.social
Built This City is an epic celebration of queer SF. Hosted by me & Honey Mahogany at the Castro Theatre, this SF Pride spectacular brings together drag legends, musicians, activists, & community icons for an unforgettable tribute to queer trailblazers who helped shape our city. peacheschrist.com
It’s the first day of a VERY busy Pride Month & my calendar is fudge packed. This final IDOL WORSHIP will be special. Tickets are getting low, so grab one while you can. You can find information on Idol Worship w/ Mink Stole and all of my Pride Month events at my website PEACHESCHRIST.com
A fave moment from Wig Metal was getting to resurrect “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” a Trannyshack staple from back in the day. Revisiting it all these years later with the incredible musicians of The Living Earth Show, Andy & Travis, & Edwin on bass was fab. Huge thanks to H.P. Mendoza for the vid.
Honored to be part of the 20th Anniv. screening of Malcolm Ingram’s groundbreaking doc Small Town Gay Bar at the Tribeca Festival. This film remains as powerful and important today as ever and I’m thrilled to be there as Peaches for it. tribecafilm.com/films/small-... @tribecafilm.com.web.brid.gy
Every Wednesday morning in San Francisco, 1996 - 2002 or so for me. And it was great. Thank you, Heklina!
One of the moments I’m most looking forward to at this year’s BUILT THIS CITY event is welcoming the unstoppable Pippi Lovestocking back to the stage. After becoming a quadruple amputee in 2023, Pippi will be making her triumphant return to The Castro to do stand up… standing up. TIX at sfpride.org.
Nihat and I caught a rooftop underground drag show in Istanbul beside Galata Tower last night and loved it. Even in an increasingly authoritarian climate, queer artists persist. These performers take real risks just to be themselves. #DragIsNotACrime #QueerResistance #IstanbulDrag #turkiye #QueerJoy
I don’t usually share medical stuff, but I’m so glad someone told me about “smart lens” surgery. After 40+ years of glasses and contacts, I had it done in Istanbul this week and can see perfectly near and far. No lenses, no readers. Feels like a miracle. Not sponsored, just sharing!
Summer camp is back and very strange. Sleepaway Camp: The Midnight Mass Experience hits the road with Peaches Christ, Felissa Rose, and Michael Varrati. Live show, drag, costume contest, then the film. VIP meet & greet available. Dates + tickets: PEACHESCHRIST.COM @midnightmasspod.bsky.social
Wrapped our final Idol Worship show in Amsterdam last night. Mink’s headed back to L.A., Nihat’s off to Turkey, and I’m on the Eurostar to Paris for a little holiday. Meeting up with Gus and DeLa, and we’re all heading with Dita to the Moulin Rouge tonight. Wild! I’ll join Nihat in Turkey on Sunday.
Edinburgh: the show must go on! After losing our venue, Cameo heroes moved us to Cineworld, now “Sinnerworld” with a P.A. and lights. Nihat ran cues on the floor, Devine Tension slayed, and we made it magic. First visit and I’m in love with this city and its incredible audience. I’ll be back!
EDINBURGH — quick update! Excuse the post show hideousness. It’s been a very stressful 24 hours. Due to a venue change, our Thursday, April 16 IDOL WORSHIP show has been moved to Cineworld. Tickets were briefly offline but are now back on sale at peacheschrist.com. 8pm, Cineworld
One of the best parts of being overseas w/ Mink Stole is introducing an important woman in my life to some British chosen family. In Manchester, we gathered for a Sunday roast w/ Bren, Lane, Liquorice Black, and Anna Phylactic, a table full of people I love in the first UK city that brought me here.
London, you set the bar HIGH. Our BFI kickoff of IDOL WORSHIP was beyond—packed with friends, TWO standing ovations, and then… Boy George backstage. I nearly collapsed. A lifelong hero since 1983. Manchester tonight is SOLD OUT, Newcastle next. UK, you’re showing UP. peacheschrist.com
I love London! Feels surreal being here prepping IDOL WORSHIP at the BFI. Lead programmer Justin Johnson treated us to a fabulous dinner, and the legendary original Dreamlander Vincent Peranio is here, swapping stories with Mink since 1966. Full-circle magic. London, see you tomorrow night.
Backstage at Dolores Park for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Easter celebration, hosting with my best Judys Sister Roma and Honey Mahogany. The sun is shining, the crowd is fierce, and San Francisco is showing OFF today. What a pastel hunky zombie dream!
Last night was electric. Bringing SHOWGIRLS back to the Castro felt exactly right for my 30-year celebration. And yes, Gina Gershon is a GODDESS- stunning, hilarious, generous & smart. Our cast and AUDIENCE brought pure SF heat! And Baby Jessica (in a well) lap-dancing?! Unreal. More photos soon!
