“I’m terrified to add new celebrities to my show.”

So why didn’t I do her?  I’ve impersonated dozens of celebrities over the years and created my most popular show with icons that audiences love; I’ve been a Celine Dion impersonator, a Madonna impersonator, a Cher impersonator, a Dolly Parton impersonator, a Janis Joplin impersonator, a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, a Tina Turner impersonator and a Liza Minnelli impersonator. I’m terrified to add new celebrities to my show because in the past I’ve added stars like Shania Twain and Lady Gaga and the audience response hasn’t felt as good as it does with my favorite divas. I’ve worked hard researching, rehearsing, designing costumes that can be changed in seconds and finding the right wigs that can be styled to make me look like the people I’m impersonating. I’ve paid for photo shoots and promotional materials, then been disappointed when new performances weren’t up to my standards. I’m afraid of failure. To suck on stage is to die!

“I’m afraid of failure. To suck on stage is to die!”

My quick-change show, 8 Divas in 44 Minutes, has a formula that works and gets me standing ovations. I’ve had success beyond my dreams performing as Cher and the other divas. I’m paid thousands of dollars to do what I love. I’ve been onstage in front of corporate audiences from Halifax to Shanghai and from Whitehorse to Playa Del Carmen. I’ve won Entertainer of the Year Awards. What’s going to happen if I change? I’ll see soon. It’s time. I’ve just gotta ignite the light and let it shine, ‘cause baby I’m a firework.

“Her show has an unprecedented wow-factor.”

To Whom It May Concern:

I contracted Tracey Bell to perform her 8 Divas Show on February 5, 2014 at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood, Ontario. Her show was exceptional as always. Tracey wowed the audience as she has at every event I have booked her for, over the years.

Her fast-paced, hilarious, high-energy, highly-interactive show really had the audience pumped! Her show has an unprecedented wow-factor. My clients are still talking about how memorable the evening was.

“One of my company’s favorite performers.”

Tracey Bell is one of my company’s favorite performers. She consistently thrills audiences as she did on February 5^th, 2014.

Sincerely,

Corporate Entertainer Tracey Bell Comes Home

Tracey Bell spoke with Liz Nicholls of The Edmonton Journal this week for an interview. Their conversation covers her history as an award-winning corporate entertainer and her upcoming show at the 2016 Edmonton Pride Festival.

The interview was especially memorable for Tracey Bell. An Edmonton native, she got her start there as a corporate entertainer, doing celebrity impersonations and live costume changes as Cher, Madonna, Janis Joplin, and Tina Turner, to name a few.

For Tracey Bell, an amusing aspect to speaking to The Edmonton Journal about her earliest days doing celebrity impersonations is that she used to work for the newspaper in the circulation department.

Now based in Vancouver, award-winning corporate entertainer Tracey Bell performs around the world at corporate events. Besides performing as the original group of Cher, Madonna, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, she also does interactive celebrity impersonations of Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minnelli, Celine Dion, Julie Andrews, and Judy Garland.

Tracey Bell is excited about returning to Edmonton to perform at the 2016 Edmonton Pride Festival. Her show will include samples from her one-woman show, “8 Divas in 44 Minutes”, which includes interactive impersonations of classic celebrity divas and live costume changes.

Here’s a preview of the interview:

This unusual accumulation of divas arrives courtesy of one funny, long-legged alter ego, a satirist in heels who loves to play dress-up — in other people’s clothes. Pride in the Park, the post-parade party at End of Steel Park on Saturday afternoon, is a homecoming for Tracey Bell, a celebrity impersonator who made her start being Cher during recess at York Elementary School in northeast Edmonton.  

Tracey Bell would like to thank Liz Nicholls and The Edmonton Journal for taking the time to interview her.
