Winner of Albany’s Ultimate Dueling Divas and The Drag Battle Royale, she has been performing since 2015 and leaving a trail of glitter behind everywhere she goes! You can usually find Noelle performing and doing costume changes at the nightclub, wearing a panda sweater and reading to children at the local library, or crying over her sewing machine she thought was broken but is actually just not threaded properly.

Typhoid Mary, not to be confused with the first asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid fever in the US, is your local friendly neighborhood drag cryptid. They are an avid fan of Lorde and wearing one plaid skirt- she is easily mistaken for a lesbian- and her job at a local brewery only spreads the rumors faster. This golf ball has been dubbed the “goth thicc e-girl emo gf punk rock royalty princess hoe queen of Albany”- a title she humbly declines. You can find her singing Olivia Rodgrigo in her car or rehearsing for opening night of Phantom of the Opera on Broadway where she plays the monkey with cymbals and understudies the Phantom’s cape. Furbies and batteries included.
