About

With over 28 years of experience in entertaining the crowds of Blackpool this show is not one to be missed!

Betty Legs Diamond was the creation of Simon Green and was born in between shows at the Palace Theatre London in the musical On Your Toes. With Betty’s incredible talent for dance, comedy and impersonation, it wasn’t long before many of London’s most renowned and prestigious cabaret venues were inviting Betty Legs Diamond to perform nightly to sell out audiences. While performing in many West End shows for over ten years and being inspired by some of the greatest talents from around the world Betty soon became one of the United Kingdoms top female impersonators.

The Show at Funny Girls soon became as famous as The Blackpool Tower and had to re-fit the venue four times and be re-located twice due to its popularity. In 2004 the invitation came to perform at the Royal Variety Performance and subsequently again in 2005 with the show stopping comedy ballet Swine Lake. Apart from being a great honour, the pinnacle of Betty’s career was meeting Queen Elizabeth II at the end of the show.

After 16 years at Funny Girls, Betty was invited to play Matron Mama Morton in the musical Chicago. This was a first, as a female impersonator had never played the role before. Soon after Chicago, Betty was once again touring and delighting audiences up and down the UK.

Betty returned to Funny Girls after Boulevard for 6 years and is now looking forward to taking the Betty Legs Diamond Show across the UK in her own tour.
