“I’ve been an alien ever since I was born,” drag artist Juno Birch says as she sits editing videos at her desk in her Castlefield apartment during one of the hottest days of the year so far.
The 29-year-old, originally from Runcorn in Cheshire, is unmistakable as a performer in her now-signature look involving a faceful of lavender blue paint, a bleach blonde Stepford Wife-esque wig, some perfectly-sketched pencil thin eyebrows and, of course, a pair of cat-eye glasses.
She’s basically Jennifer Coolidge if she was an extra-terrestrial with a northern accent and that’s the highest of compliments. And she’s riding high with more than 625,000 Instagram followers and over 31 million views on YouTube.
