A little about Noah:

Originally from Pickering, Noah grew up wanting to perform for others, be it family, classmates, or even their own reflection. Despite being a flamboyant, feminine, closeted kid, he never shied away from being in the spotlight.

Having decided to pursue a career in the world of stage performance, Noah went on to train in singing, acting, and dancing. He then went on to perform with local theatre companies in shows like Legally Blonde and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. During previews for the Canadian regional premiere of Kinky Boots, his first equity contract, in 2020, the worldwide Covid shutdown pushed Noah to come up with a new avenue for channeling their love of performing. Thus, a new drag queen, Just Peachy, was born out of a need for growth, a love for the art form, and a longing to be back in the spotlight.

Now a working queen in Toronto, Just Peachy combines all of her professional training with her ability to serve face, hair flips, and all around cheekiness. She draws inspiration from pop icons such as Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, and Beyoncé, as well as Broadway divas like Kristin Chenoweth, Shoshana Bean, and Liza Minelli. Just Peachy is essence of flamboyance, ferocity and fruitiness

Just Peachy has done a few competitions during her time in Toronto. Namely, coming in second in the ABSOLUT Empire’s Ball season 3, as well as placing in the top 10 at the Miss El Convento Rico 2022 pageant. Her star has risen quickly and it continues to climb, thanks to the passion and effort put in by a queer kid from Pickering named Noah.
