Prince Poppycock



John Quale is a singer/songwriter, and creator of the stage character Prince Poppycock. The act started in 2006 when a friend asked Quale to sing at a nightclub in Los Angeles. The only catch was that he had to wear a wig. Cue Prince Poppycock's wild wig and whiteface makeup. Since then, Prince Poppycock has come into the world's attention when he performed on America's Got Talent.

 * Fangirls/Fanboys: They’re called “the Poppies.”
 * Fake Brit: In character, he usually rocks a slightly British tone. It's all part of the "royalty" package.
