Jessie Précieuse is the stage name of Alex Verville, a Montreal-based drag queen.[1]
Verville has been a weather presenter for MétéoMédia, the French-language counterpart of The Weather Network.[2] Although he normally presents the weather as himself, he has sometimes presented the weather in drag as Jessie Précieuse during Montreal Pride.[3] He is also a regular contributor to Noovo Info's Friday 5 p.m. news segment, where he discusses current issues related to weather and climate.[4]
Verville began experimenting with drag during the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, before making her television debut on MétéoMédia in 2021.[5] She gained further prominence as a finalist on the second season of the drag competition series Call Me Mother in 2022.[6]
Précieuse was born and raised in Sorel-Tracy,[7] a small city in southwestern Quebec, Canada. They studied at Cégep de Jonquière in Saguenay, Québec before moving to Montreal, Quebec to complete their bachelor's studies in communications at the Université du Québec à Montréal.[8]
