drag queen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wearing short dungarees to work' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'question artiste' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'question' could be 'qu' and 'qu' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
