Today we’d like to introduce you to Jester Juicer.
Hi Jester, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have only been doing drag for a little over a year. I had previously been cosplaying for five years before this and did clown makeup as a hobby. In 2024 I lost my drive to create new cosplays and struggled for a while to find a creative outlet. In June of 2025 I attended a local Pride celebration in Longview, Tx. I saw my first drag show and I was finally inspired to try it for myself. I spent a month planning, creating a name, finding something to wear, and crocheting my first jester hat. I even consulted some cosplay friends, B🌟BY and CherryCherry, who became established drag artists in San Marcos. They really helped drive my creativity and give me the confidence to participate in a local show. RMC in Longview had monthly shows for new artists, hosted by the ever so supportive Quoe. To make it quick, my first show was a disaster. I was a total klutz, truly unfortunate. I can’t say my second show was any better or my third. It took quite a while to figure out what I was doing. My fourth show was when it finally started clicking. I cosplayed Pitbull. I had a slow a creepy performance as Amanda from Saw and for the second half I walked out in a bald cap, tuxedo, and the kisses of Queens on my cheeks. That show become a memory many people from RMC remembered me by. After that show, in November, I had my first out of town show in San Marcos, hosted by my brilliant friend B🌟BY. Then I got my first invitation to perform for a brunch in the same month. 2025 ended with myself in high hopes for what I could do. Unfortunately RMC closed in early 2026 and I started my journey of actually applying to shows and finding productions in the DFW. It was and still is difficult. There’s so much community and support that I feel jealous to be an outsider of the area. The highlight of this year was definitely being invited by the two queens that cheered me on the most to perform in the Tyler and Longview pride events. It was sudden, with a live bass performance in Denton in-between, but an invigorating experience. To sum it all up. I started as a nervous wreck that also felt like I needed to puke before I walked on stage and now- I feel a little less nervous.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I’ve definitely struggled. I never had the best confidence in myself but I had solace in believing I was a fool worthy of a spotlight. Aside from the mental obstacles I have quite poor eyesight and astigmatisms’. I stubbornly like to perform without my glasses so I often struggle to see the audience in dark rooms or when a spotlight is on me.
Now aside from physical challenges, I do struggle to connect with people. I’m not sure if it was obvious from the Jester persona but I am autistic. I’m great at putting on the face paint and putting on a show, but off the stage I’m unfortunately as stale as a KFC biscuit. I find it rather difficult to network and make friends with other drag artists/audience at shows.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I can humbly say, I’m not yet known for anything. Besides being a jester I have yet to fine any one thing I’m great at. I’ve tried many performance types: burlesque, floorwork, chairwork, blood, cosplay, live instruments, and singing. I certainly found my favorites from this. I love bloody performances and I’m most found of a Vampire show where I had laid back, vomited blood all over my face and pulled bloody guts out of my shirt. I also love doing chairwork, mostly because I have low stamina and I’m not strong enough for good floorwork yet. Something I’m working on! Basically I have things I love to do and I’m striving to make them into something people love to see me for.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
