Farrah Moan (Stephen Welch) has been performing drag for the past ten years and, for this 27-year-old born and raised Calgarian, it was easy becoming the artist that has hosted the stage of Cowboys Nightclub for the last six months. While working at a local drag bar, Farrah Moan had the opportunity to perform on stage for the first time at an event where the drag performers and the staff switched places. For Farrah Moan, the onstage persona was almost more favourable than Stephen Welch’s daily life.
Performing at Cowboys has been nothing but amazing, with the full backing from the other performers. "My ideas have been fully supported," states Farrah Moan. In addition to Cowboys, she has performed across Canada with Pure Pride for the past three years and has had the honour of performing with a multitude of greats like Chad Michaels. In fact, Farrah Moan has been asked to perform with Michaels at this year’s Dreamgirls Review in Los Angeles.
Before becoming a drag star Farrah Moan got her start dancing at the age of eight-years-old. She has performed on cruise ships, and even made the top 100 on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Having retired from dancing professionally, Farrah Moan is now a professional dance instructor and adjudicator in Alberta.
On a personal note, Farrah Moan has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for six years and sells eyewear at a locally owned and operated shop in Calgary. When decompressing you can find her cooking for her family and friends, reading, and doing arts and crafts.
