The Imitator

Winner: Best International Show, United Solo Festival, New York.

1 Singer, 70 Voices and a Story to Tell.

Singer and actor Julián Fontalvo uses his extraordinary vocal range and talent for mimicry to take audiences on a journey back to his childhood in South America, where he discovered his unique skills, and from there to New York and Europe, as he struggles to become established as an artist. In his one-man show, he portrays a variety of characters that were a part of his story and with his uncannily accurate impersonations, evokes 70 different singers - from Rick Astley to Tina Turner, Andrea Bocelli to Edith Piaf, David Bowie to Amy Winehouse – that have been pivotal in his life, and probably in yours too.

Julián Fontalvo comes back to Edimburgh after performing in New York at the United Solo Festival, the world's largest solo theatre festival, where he was awarded Best International Show. Additionally, Julián has performed it over six seasons in Madrid and at the prestigious Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. 

An international showman, he has appeared in over 60 cities across 23 different countries, performing in front of celebrities such as Michael Douglas, Shakira, and Anne Hathaway. He has been cast in Spanish productions of We Will Rock You, Monty Python’s Spamalot, and Avenue Q. He is also highly sought after for exclusive corporate and private events; he even had the honor of being the sole performer at tennis champion Rafa Nadal’s wedding, at the personal request of the sportsman.

"The Imitator" will be held at the Assembly Rooms Bijou Spiegeltent from August 2nd to August 25th.

                                  Don’t miss this opportunity to see an outstanding performer with a truly unique talent!

“A brilliant and uncanny impersonator of all the great singers. He brings a hundred characters with him.” 

Roger Taylor, Queen
