Both YouTube sensation Christina Bianco and cabaret star Velma Celli could have easily put on spectacular solo shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but instead they have come together to celebrate the world's greatest diva's - and they are a force to be reckoned with!

From duets to solo numbers and from quick costume changes to high kicks and splits, Divallusion showcases two sensational performers at the height of their game.

Best known in theatreland for her hysterically impressive 'Let It Go' impression video, Bianco whips out all her best impressions to huge rounds of applause; her voice is insane. Celli provides one of the highlights of the evening with an exceptional stripped back rendition of Jessie J's 'Nobody's Perfect'.

Together the pair have exceptional chemistry and put on an incredible performance. Divallusion has to be the finest cabaret show playing the Edinburgh Fringe this year! Divallusion is more than a cabaret starring a drag queen and an impressionist; it is an intelligent, well-crafted show which is not to be missed!

  1. Went to see the show on Friday 1st August and was blown away. It's one of the best shows I have ever seen at the Fringe. Felt totally entertained in the hour it was on and wanted more. I was so impressed I am going to see it again next Thursday.
