Trixie Mattel & Pearl Teese Bring Drag Drama To TwitchCon 2025

Trixie Mattel isn’t just a drag queen, she’s an empire. Post All Stars crown, she’s been stacking wins: platinum wigs, country ballads, her own makeup line, and a podcast with Katya that’s basically therapy disguised as chaos. Now she’s bringing all that Barbie-on-steroids energy to TwitchCon’s Drag Showcase — a space where cosplay collides with contour.

Enter Pearl Teese, the Stream Queen

On the other side, you’ve got Pearl Teese, a rising Twitch siren whose streams flip between cozy and unhinged. She’s not a household name yet, but this collab with Trixie could put her on every gamer’s radar. Together, they’re hosting TwitchCon like it’s prom night in San Diego, and the theme is “Level Up, But Make It Queer.”

Cheers and Clutching Pearls

Of course, the announcement lit up the timeline. Fans are calling it iconic, proof that gaming culture is finally embracing drag in a real way. Critics? They’re spiraling about whether drag fits into a family-friendly convention. Translation: the same tired pearl-clutching we’ve seen every time queerness touches mainstream spaces.

TwitchCon Turns Ten with Glitter

Set for October 17-19, TwitchCon 2025 is already being hyped as a milestone — ten years of gamers flying to San Diego for panels, meetups, and overpriced merch. But this Drag Showcase is the wildcard. For some, it’s a celebration of community evolution. For others, it’s a reminder that gaming culture isn’t just Mountain Dew and rage-quits anymore. It’s wigs, lashes, and a whole lot of sparkle.
