Ceri Dupree to star at Golden Handbag Awards
The Golden Handbag Show, Brighton’s annual Gay Oscar award ceremony will take place on Sunday June 12 at the Brighton Metropole Hilton Hotel.
International female impersonator Ceri Dupree returns by public demand to perform at the Golden Handbag Awards.
Ceri will be bringing along some favourite ladies from his new show EYEcons which features new characters including Cilla Black, Lady Gaga and Joan Rivers as well as some old favourites such as Dolly Parton, Cher and Shirley Bassey.
Ceri, one of the finest female impersonators in the world, brings a touch of glamour and Hollywood Showbiz to any evening with his spectacular costumes and brilliant comedy patter.
The Times newspaper wrote: “I’ve seen hundreds of men dress up as a woman over the years, most of them disastrously so, a handful of them get this particular art form right, Ceri Dupree is one of that handful.”
Now in their 21st year, The Golden Handbags celebrate everything positive and uplifting about the LGBT scene in Brighton and Hove and take place at the Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel on Sunday, June 12, starting at 7.30pm.
