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.

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.
