Gisèle Lullaby

Gisèle Lullaby is the stage name of Simon Gosselin (born August 8, 1988), a French Canadian drag performer most known for winning the third season of Canada's Drag Race.

Career

Originally from Boucherville, Quebec, Gosselin began as a backup dancer for drag queens at Cabaret Mado, but did not perform in drag himself until a 2009 birthday party for Montreal nightlife personality Franky Dee, when he was convinced to do drag and perform to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies". She has been a longtime host of her own Tuesday night show, Full Gisèle, at Cabaret Mado.

In 2020, Gisèle Lullaby participated in Saint-Jeanne, an LGBTQ-inclusive Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day livestream coordinated by singer-songwriter Safia Nolin.

Gisèle Lullaby competed on the third season of Canada's Drag Race. After being safe for first 3 episodes, in episode 4 she won the design challenge, she then impersonated Marie Curie for the Snatch Game challenge, receiving praise for her black comedy routine about Curie suffering increasing effects of radiation sickness, pulling from a historical figure not traditionally seen as a source of comedy. She was named the winner of the season in the finale. His victory also marked the first time a Quebec native and resident won the title. In addition, he is the first Francophone contestant (although he speaks English as a second language) to win the Canadian title as well as the fourth French-speaking winner in the Drag Race franchise.

On September 18, 2022, Gisèle Lullaby presented an award at the Prix Gémeaux ceremony alongside Rita Baga, Barbada de Barbades and Mona de Grenoble.
