Chris! hristopher Peterson is, without doubt, North America’s foremost female impersonator. His stature in the field is said to be equivalent to that of the legendary Jim Bailey—and Peterson still has years in which to expand his reputation.

Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, he discovered a love for the theatre early in life and began developing his female characters while he worked on his theatrical career. In addition to appearances on BCTV and The Vancouver Show, he was featured on Fashion Television, The Shirley Show and Global Television. He also co-hosted the Dini Petty Show as Dini Petty.

For three years, beginning in 1993, Christopher appeared at The Edmonton Fringe Festival in Guys in Disguise. He played the female lead in Canadian Stage's production of Tom Stoppard's Rough Crossing and was cast as Robin Turner in Brad Fraser's stage musical adaptation of the hit movie Outrageous.

His acting abilities were acknowledged when he won the Dora Award (Canada’s equivalent of the Tony) for his remarkable performance in Brad Fraser’s Poor Super Man.

Having proved his talents in Canada, Christopher moved to Los Angeles where he worked for a year with An Evening at La Cage. While in LA, he appeared on Truth of Consequences, Taste of LA Revue, as well as making a special appearance at Evening At The Improv.

Peterson also appeared in the award-winning documentary We’re Funny That Way, and gained a great deal of attention when he was featured as “a Lucille Ball” in Rat Race, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr.

In Eyecons, Peterson’s art is astounding. Without resorting to any lip-synching, he creates a dozen or more of the world’s most astonishing ladies right before the eyes and ears of the audience in his one-man (many women) show.

Patsy Cline, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe all come back to life with the genius touch of this extraordinary entertainer. Joan Rivers rants, Shirley MacLaine raves, Dr. Ruth advises, all within minutes of each other.

The stage becomes the world of Barbra Streisand, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Carol Channing, Lucille Ball, Liza Minnelli, and more.

This is not just a man in a dress with a tape recorder; this is a consummate actor who has hewn his craft so finely that his show is an absolute must-see experience.

Negotiations are now underway to bring Christopher Peterson to Vegas.
