Perspective

Abhora is a drag performer, and began entertaining under the name at age 24. Their stage name is derived from an "evil version" of Adora, a fellow performer they met while living in Miami.[2] Screen Rant has described her as a "trash queen" and said: "Abhora serves nightmarish artsy looks that look like they crawled out of a horror movie. Her colorful grotesque drag style is immediately recognizable when she appears on stage."[3] In Atlanta, she participated in Phoenix's long-running 12-week drag contest Dragnificent.[4] Abhora has also been part of the cast of The Other Show.[5]

Abhora competed on the second season (2017) of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula as well as the first (2022) and second (2025) seasons of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Titans.[6] She placed seventh overall on the first season of Titans.[7] Abhora was cast as part of the Dragula: Titans tour[8][9] and has been described as a "villain" and a "fan favorite" of the Dragula franchise.[10][11]

In 2018, Abhora starred in PJ Magerko's Thom Browne-outfitted fashion film Halfway to Halloween.[12] Abhora won Alaska Thunderfuck's Drag Queen of the Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition in 2019.[13][14] For the talent show portion of the competition, Abhora "lurched amidst creepy clowns".[15] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Abhora participated in Digital Drag: An Online Drag Show, which was streamed on Twitch and raised funds for out-of-work drag performers.[16][17]
