A Must-See Theatrical Comedy Spectacular
Ceri Dupree, one of Britain’s most acclaimed female impersonators, is hitting the road in 2026 with a brand-new stage show, Frock With Laughter! It’s making a stop at The Royal Hippodrome Theatre on Friday 13th March.
The highly anticipated UK tour promises a night of non-stop entertainment, outrageous costumes, dazzling vocals, and uproarious comedy as Dupree brings his unique brand of Las Vegas style glamour and theatrical hilarity to audiences nationwide.
After a life-changing health scare in 2025 where his heart stopped for over 20 minutes, following a cardiac arrest and stroke (a near-death experience that captured national attention online). Ceri made a miraculous recovery and has returned to live performance with renewed passion and purpose. His resilience and committed artistic spirit add even deeper meaning to this joyous and celebratory show.
Frock With Laughter!! is far more than a drag show, it’s a theatrical spectacle blending stand-up comedy, jaw-dropping costume changes, live vocals, and brilliant impersonations of some of the world’s most beloved female icons. Audiences will be treated to Ceri’s take on a stunning array of characters, from legendary stars to modern pop culture figures, all delivered with sharp wit and show-stopping flair.
Blending brand-new material with iconic favourites, the show combines music, comedy and spectacular transformation in a joyous celebration of live theatre at its very best.
Tickets £23.50 - £25.50 and are available for purchase from the Box Office on 01323 802020 or can be booked online at: royalhippodrome.com
