Look Mummy, No Hands - Camille O'Sullivan
If raw emotion has a voice, then it is surely Camille O’Sullivan’s.
Camille O'Sullivan
For the past few years, Camille has bewitched Edinburgh audiences with her intoxicating take on the songs of Brel, Bowie, Cave and others; breathing seductive life into the characters she sings about – from the death row inmate of Cave’s “The Mercy Seat” to the heartbreaking reflections of the woman in Fascinating Aida’s “Look Mummy, No Hands”.
In 2008 and 2009, Camille sent shivers down thousands of spines with her Dark Angel show, featuring her twin trademarks of searing, powerful vocals together with her sexy and sassy cabaret-style mischief.
This year, she returns with Chameleon – a show which will deliver new material to audiences eager to once again spend an intimate evening being moved and entertained by the Queen of the Fringe.
2010 has been a year of successes for this Irish-born star, with sell-out appearances at London’s West End, The Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House, as well as a 6-week UK tour.
Appearing for a four-week run at the Assembly George Street, tickets are already being snapped up by the faithful – and are likely to disappear even quicker once word spreads of Camille’s mesmerising presence and captivating performance.
So, if you’re in the dark about which shows to catch at Edinburgh this year, let the torch songs of Chameleon light your way.
Buy tickets for Chameleon on the Assembly website.

I’m really looking forward to “Chameleon”. Saw “Dark Angel” a couple of times, and it was a stunning performance.
Folks, if you haven’t seen Camille before, you really *must* go see her. She’s utterly spellbinding.
Very disappointed-just not my cup of tea I suppose-I just found her performance unbelievably affected and contrived.Yes her voice was okay-but the shouting and hysterical beating on the drum was for me not particularly moving or entertaining.”Stunning performance,spellbinding”are definitely not words I would associate with Camille.(sorry Camille-you seemed a really nice person-all the best with your career-you seem to have plenty of fans).
