Meatball (drag queen)

Jennings was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and adopted right after. His family moved to Cairo, Egypt three days later. His dad was a lead engineer for an oil company, which forced the family to move frequently, including London, England and Norway.^[4] They eventually settled in Houston, Texas, where Jennings grew up. Jennings went to high school at Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Michigan, where she was voted "Most Likely to be on the Cover of the National Enquirer". After graduating, Jennings moved to East Village, New York before moving to Los Angeles.^[5]

Meatball began her career performing in the Los Angeles drag scene after being inspired by RuPaul's Drag Race.^[6] Before the television version, Meatball also won the club contest version of Dragula, whose other winners include fellow Dragula season 1 contestant Pinche and RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Valentina.

She was a contestant on Dragula season 1, where she took fourth place and was the "fan favorite" winner.^[7] She returned in a cameo skit during the last supper of season 2.
