drag artist
Glamorous lip-syncer
A drag artist is a performer who adopts exaggerated gender presentation—typically a man dressing as a woman, though women and nonbinary people also perform drag.
The art form emphasizes theatricality: elaborate costumes, makeup, lip-syncing, and often comedic or satirical elements.
The drag artist performed a Cher medley at the club.
Drag queen and drag king specify the gender being performed.
