Real Housewives of New York city star brings cabaret show to SWX
Better known as ‘Countess Luann’, the American actress, cabaret singer, model and author Luann de Lesseps first came to widespread attention as one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of New York City.
Making her cabaret debut in 2017, she has continued to build her live audience, and counts Jennifer Lawrence, Tilda Swinton, Nicola Coughlan and Tom Daley amongst her fans.
After attracting a crowd of 40,000 fans at London’s Mighty Hoopla festival in 2024, the Countess is now heading back to the UK, taking in six different cities – including a show at Bristol’s SWX on February 21.
For fans, it’s a chance to experience a night of high camp, glitz, glamour, and audience participation, with a healthy dollop of anecdotes promised along the way.
The evening will also feature Bristol royalty, Jayde Adams. Best known as a comedian, actress and writer, Adams also has a remarkable voice, and has been singing since she was at school – citing an inspirational music teacher for changing the course of her life.
