Travis Laughlin has been paying tribute to Janis Joplin as Pearl for over 20 years. Pearl debuted at a high school drag show in Ossipee, North Carolina and she hasn’t looked back! Since that stunning debut Pearl has performed in such venues as the Wayne Newton Theatre in Las Vegas, Snug Harbor in Charlotte, Joe’s Pub, and, of course, The Cock. Pearl is about celebrating the legacy of Janis Joplin and, in Janis’ words, inspiring people to “get off [their] butt[s] and feel things!”
