Karen From Finance (sometimes stylized Karen from Finance) is an Australian drag performer and contestant on the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.

About[]

One of the most renowned drag artists in Australia, Karen was one of the original members of the award-winning, cult queer cabaret ‘YUMMY’ and has built an international fan-base, touring the world with her singular brand of office-themed character drag.

At the beginning of this year, Karen was appointed as an Ambassador for DragExpo in Melbourne. She has appeared at RuPaul’s DragCon in LA in 2017, 2018 and 2019 in headlining performances, as well as headlining shows all over the US, including the Austin International Festival in Texas.[3]

Drag Name Origin[]

Karen spoke on Hey Qween on how her name came about. She and her friends were buying clothes for a costume party and her friends said her chosen dress looked like something "Karen from Finance" would wear. And thus, this is when she decided upon her drag name.[4]
