ABOUT

Jon Bell

Elsie Diamond is a compère, singer, and comic burlesque performer with over a decade of experience and a voice that can melt a room (or start a conga line, depending on your guests). A seasoned fixture of the UK cabaret scene, she’s known for her powerhouse vocals, sharp one-liners, and signature blend of vintage glamour and northern sass.
Inspired by the music hall tradition of comic songs, show-stopping costume, pop culture references, and the unapologetic pursuit of a blooming lovely time, Elsie’s work spans musical sets, burlesque, cabaret hosting, and audience-taming chaos. Her repertoire is eclectic, electric, and entirely adaptable — available for cabaret nights, private parties, and corporate functions. (Naughtiness negotiable.)
​
In 2015, Elsie debuted the first of her self-penned solo shows — The Sensible Dresser and The Sensible Undresser — both of which received glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike.
In 2023, she joined forces with opera singer Belinda Williams to create Show:Girls — a cabaret-clash fringe show about two wildly different worlds sharing one stage and a whole lot of sequins. (More on that under Fringe Shows.)
​
A favourite on the UK circuit, Elsie is now based in Scunthorpe, UK. Yes, really. But she’s more than happy to travel — glitter case in hand — wherever the gig calls.
