'''Myra DuBois''' is the stage name of '''Gareth Joyner''', a British drag performer and stand-up comedian originally from Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

In 2020 she appeared as a semi-finalist on ''Britain's Got Talent'' (Series 14), where her audition generated significant attention: Boy George praised the performance while Piers Morgan called it "diabolical." The public disagreement between the two judges brought her widespread press coverage.

Her television credits include ''The John Bishop Show'' (2015), ''Big Brother's Bit on the Side'', ''Dom Jolly's Fool Britannia'', ''Richard Osman's House of Games'' (2023), and ''The Weakest Link'' (2023). In 2022 she appeared in ''Queens for the Night'' in a mentor role.

In film, she appeared in the adaptation of ''[[Everybody's Talking About Jamie]]'' (2021). She played Lady von Fistenburg in the [[West End]] murder-mystery show ''Death Drop'' (2021), and has performed solo shows at the [[Edinburgh Festival Fringe]], including ''Dead Funny'' (2021).

She has also appeared in pantomime, including as Carabosse in ''Sleeping Beauty''.
