Show Description

Backed by The Graceland Band, a 5 piece Elvis Tribute session band plus 2 backing vocalists or high quality backing tracks. A tribute show to Elvis but not an impersonation. I am a gay Elvis fan and I wanted to create a performance that subtly includes diversity. Elberace (Gay Elvis) is always respectful to the brilliant body of work of Presley but performed in my own unique way with elements of The King. Not an overtly a gay show but only in the fact that I am a gay man who is a huge Elvis Presley fan. Upbeat, joyful and always great fun, definitely not taking myself too seriously with a focu ... s upon the audiences enjoyment, who always end up on their feet dancing. Not a typical Elvis set list but including the main hits with anecdotes, stories & stand up comedy all with a focus on Elvis Presley and my own fandom.

Biography

I am a trained actor & performer and have been performing comedy/cabaret since 2004 mainly in London. Full equity member.
I only started to perform my act ETA one year ago but it has been very popular resulting in headlining in several London cabaret revues, twice for Time travellers Cabaret and also VOHO. I have also appeared at the Crystal Palace Festival. I was very honoured to be invited to appear at The New Union Theatre for their gay pride week event Love Is Love, Pizza Express LIVE Holborn plus a residency at a local venue and private parties. Earlier in 2019 I was approached by ITV� ... ��s Britain’s Got Talent which I firmly turned down. I also have been offered slots for this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival and The Isle of White Festival which I was unable to attend due to other performance commitments. I absolutely love performing my show.
Other Work:
I have performed at many of London’s top cabaret Venues such as: Pizza On The park, The Pheasantry Chelsea, St James Theatre, Leicester Square Theatre, Camden Festival 2008 & 2009, Make A Wish Foundation (Home Farmhouse), Jermyn Street Theatre, Canal Café Theatre, I.C.A London, Soho Theatre, Battersea Barge etc. My self - written show ‘James Haslam’s Clutching Pearls’ was nominated for a What’s On Stage Award in 2011. I have also appeared on Yorkshire TV’s Heartbeat.

Elberace : Gay Elvis - Elvis Impersonator - Greenwich, London Event Location: The Counting House, London Event Type: Private Party 18th January 2020

"James was brilliant to work with from the start and very clear and helpful about what the act involved etc. James was also professional and flexible when we were faced with some unexpected venue issues. All of our guests had a fantastic time, and James was a complete riot. We would definitely book Elberace again, highly recommended and great value!"

Elberace : Gay Elvis - Elvis Impersonator - Greenwich, London Event Location: Union Theatre Event Type: Cabaret performance 7th October 2019

James Haslam is a consummate performer, and the fact that he shows great skill and flair when he is on stage proves he is demonstrating a sincere homage and respect for the real Elvis. It is no surprise that he won a Diversity Award at the recent Porthcawl Elvis Festival. James’s rapport with the audience is immediate encouraging enthusiastic participation – bringing nearly all his audience onto his stage. It’s all there: the gyrating hips, the lip curl, the arm movements, the shaking of the torso. This is an act of pure robust energy performed in a unique style. Upbeat, joyful and immense fun. Elberace works because Haslam has studied the man, the legend, and what Elvis stood for as an exceptional showman and the ‘King of Vegas’. Stand out numbers include Walk A Mile In My Shoes and Suspicious Minds. A fabulous show – and I’m sure James’s star will rise to great heights on the current cabaret circuit

Saw Elberace at Porthcawl Elvis Festival in the Pavilion... He was fantastic, good singer, good dancer and a very enjoyable performer. I met him the next day whilst having a coffee and he was a very friendly and polite man xx cannot wait to see him again.
