Ceri has been delighting audiences worldwide for almost 25 years; his unique talents have taken him through musical theatre, pantomime, summer season, television and cabaret. There isn’t an audience (Age or Type!!!) that he hasn’t played to.
He has performed at various major and esteemed venues throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and his birthplace Wales, with numerous appearances at hotels such as The Savoy, The Dorchester, The Churchill, The Landmark and Claridges.
International work has included appearances in Greece, France, Holland, Spain, Germany South Africa and the Seychelles.
He has appeared in many west end nightclubs including The Café de Paris, Talk of London, The Stork Club, Le Beat Route, Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza on the Park, etc.). He appeared twice nightly, six nights a week (and never missed a show!) for two years at the world famous Madame Jo Jo's in London's West End, followed by three years at “Minsky’s” music hall in Cardiff. His extensive repertoire of theatre shows include “Hello Dolly”, “Rock Hard” (60’s Tribute show), “Hot Stuff”, a 70’s tribute show (5 seasons and 2 national tours), “The Ultimate Hen Party” (season and national tour) and “The Rocky Horror Show” (as Frank-n-Furter of course!!!).
Such are the strengths of his talents, Ceri has written and produced his own shows “Extraordinaire”, “Ladies of Legend”, “Brenda: A Star is Torn”, “The Ceri Dupree Spectacular”, “Totally Frocked Up!!” and “Missleading ladies” to name but a few.
One year saw him travel throughout the U.K. in cabaret, a one-man theatre tour a series of corporate events with shows in Portugal, Johannesburg, Athens and Myknos
On Television, Ceri has wowed the audiences with his four-part television show for ITV1 called “Ceri Dupree Unfrocked”. He has also appeared on numerous chat shows, light entertainment shows as well as hundreds of radio shows and press interviews.
Over the years Ceri has impersonated almost every major female star one can think of, from Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, Shirley Bassey to Barbara Cartland, Tina Turner to the UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!!! He has also sent up Cruella De Ville, Snow White, the Wicked Queen, and Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) during his "Dupree's Disney Diva's". Variety is certainly not dead - we also have Her Majesty The Queen of England, and Jordan. And his newest addition in 2008, Amy Winehouse!
Ceri Dupree is certainly more than a comic in a frock his singing, dancing, acting, impersonation and stand up comedy, display a talent that blasts the notion of “Dressing up in drag” clean off the stage. His shows are elegant, professional and extremely funny, as reviewer once said… "The frocks are fabulous, the wigs wonderful, tThe voice versatility itself, Ceri Dupree illuminates people rather than merely impersonating women, walking a fine line between character and caricature, never being anything less than hugely funny with sharp wit, human perception and high energy!!!"
In 2005, his time was spent in Rhodes at the Kingsize Cabaret Theatre for a 24-week season with his show “The Full Diamonte”, followed by an autumn theatre tour, with his new show The Ladies I Love. There was also a cabaret and corporate events for a host of organisations including Versace, McDonalds and Virgin.
Future plans include a play about the late great Bette Davis, and a show based on the life of the legendary Danny La Rue (entitled "Don't Miss La Rue"). Plans to open his own Cabaret/Restaurant, called "Dupree's" are well underway, and he has future ambitions to work in Las Vegas and to play the lead in the musical La Cage Aux Folles. |  |
