Tracey Bell will become Marilyn Monroe to host the Women in Film and Television Spotlight Awards on June 19^th. She’ll do impersonations of Judy Garland as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music and others at the event that she’s hosted twice before. She’ll also perform at A Loving Spoonful’s Project Empty Bowl on June 21^st before portraying 13 different divas during her unique, interactive celebrity impersonation show at Celebrities Nightclub on July 13^th.

At the July 13^th show, Bell will change in seconds seamlessly to perform her hilarious impressions of Celine Dion, Cher, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and more. With her warm, enthusiastic style of connecting with the audience, Tracey will inspire them into doing a kick-line with Liza Minnelli, performing guitar solos with Janis Joplin and being Boy Toys with Madonna. She stays in character, improvising with people throughout the show. Her joy and energetic playfulness are contagious.

Partial proceeds from her July 13^th show will benefit A Loving Spoonful, where Tracey is an honorary director. She raised $2300 for the charity at her April 6^th show, where she had the audience in stitches when she auctioned herself off as Cher.

Born in Edmonton, she’s made her living onstage since 1985, when she performed a Tina Turner impersonation just for fun and the nightclub she worked at checking coats hired her full-time as their in-house act.

An entertainment entrepreneur, Bell became self-employed in 1988 and moved to Vancouver in 1990 to build her one-woman business where she is a force as her own manager, marketing director, producer and costume designer. She has travelled from Whitehorse to Halifax and internationally, mostly performing at private corporate events.

Tracey Bell has returned to public performances, disproving the stigmas of middle age by adding impressions of millennial artists to her award-winning show. Exceptionally fit and looking better than ever, she’s ready for her comeback.

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.
