Prince Poppycock
Prince Poppycock (born John Quale 1978) is a American Entertainer originally from Great Falls, Va. In 2006 Prince Poppycock was created by John Quale while studying Opera, he had just completed learning the Figaro aria, 'Largo al Factotum'. When a friend asked John to perform the aria at her nightclub there was only one stipulation: he must wear a wig. John decided to perform as a powdered-wigged baroque dandy, and highlight how the song was about being a fabulous hairdresser.

Prince Poppycock was an instant success, appearing at prime Los Angeles venues like the Redcat, where he opened for revered performance artist Ann Magnuson, and at the Orpheum where he opened for the Dresden Dolls.

John continues to work actively on both Prince Poppycock as well as his solo project. He is currently working with Kristian Hoffman (of The Mumps and Klaus Nomi note) on his debut album.
