Chastity Belt
One of the UK’s most beloved cabaret artistes; Chastity has been whipping audiences into shape across the country and beyond for nearly a decade and doesn’t intend to stop any time soon! With that threat in mind, and a penchant for all things glamourous and glittering, she is the perfect addition to any show. With an infectious energy, Chastity is the perfect blend of powerful and poised, audiences leave her shows beaming, with their sides split and their cockles warmed. Belt is a well sought-after cabaret compére, Mistress of Ceremonies and event host. A powerhouse of a singer with a razor sharp wit, she really is the thinking man's crumpet and the crumpet man's thinker.
As her name suggests, she can belt with the best of them and has been doing so in some of the top cabaret spots in London and around globe. Including La Clique, Cafe de Paris, Gin House Burlesque, Party Like Gatsby, The Orient Express, Bunga Bunga, Phoenix Arts club, Crazy Coqs, RVT, Cellar Door and her shower room in South London. She has even compered for the Queen of Burlesque herself; Dita Von Teese.
Like every modern woman she extols the virtues of forward-thinking and gin-drinking, but will happily drop it all for a prospective husband with a beard and strong shoulders. When not being a Mistress of Mirth she can be found acting, directing, writing and teaching across the capital.
Chastity's inner self is a trained actress and singer who has been performing for the best part of 20 years. She appeared in 'Stepping Out' on London's West End and it is these skills, honed over many years that make her one of the best hosts in London and the UK. She is reliably charismatic enough to get even the most stoic of audience members chuckling.
Chastity will be hosting THE HBBF GALA! on Saturday 4th May at Todmorden Hippodrome.
