Jimmy Moore, the marathoner of impersonation

La Presse features a portrait of Jimmy Moore, a Quebec drag artist known for his dedication to impersonating musical icons, highlighting his role at Fierté Montréal and the intense artistic endurance behind his performances.

In its coverage during Fierté Montréal, La Presse takes readers inside the career of Jimmy Moore, described as the “marathoner of impersonation” due to the duration and energy of his performances. Moore stands out in Canada as a drag performer who has made a career out of embodying well-known pop figures such as Madonna, Céline Dion, Lady Gaga and, most notably, Taylor Swift, whom he honors in an extended Eras Tour tribute.

The article emphasizes Moore’s significant presence at Fierté Montréal, where he delivered multiple shows, and his commitment to creating immersive live experiences. It notes that, beyond performing, he directs and choreographs his productions, sometimes lasting multiple hours, which contribute to his characterization as an “ultramarathoner” in the arts.

La Presse also touches on the unique connection Moore has built with his audiences, particularly Taylor Swift fans, and the continued rise in his popularity with regular appearances at venues like the Cabaret Mado and beyond.
