ALETIA UPSTAIRS
Delivers a potent set with resonant clarity and a biting intent aligned with her stage persona, which is both formidable and wry.” – Ben Walters (The Scotsman)“Aletia gave a great performance full of passion and humour. The audience loved it.” ✭✭✭✭✭ – Patrick Harrington (Counter Culture)“Challenging and courageous. This lady in red shines like a newborn star.” – Kevin Short (International Times)“A Queer Love Of Dix is a quality piece of theatre and performance art…a well-crafted script and beautifully sung songs…a performance of mastery.” ✭✭✭✭✭ – Mark Calvert (Mumble)“Aletia Upstairs, a spectacular performance artist and scholar…masterly construct…skilful intermediacy.” ✭✭✭✭✭ – James O’Brien (Edinburgh Festival.org)“Important and inspirational work; The words, and songs,are spoken and sung with such thought-provoking purity and love.” – Kevin Short (International Times)“One of those little Edinburgh Fringe gems — Upstairs is joyful, sulky, sexy and seductive as Mata Hari. Do go and see this if you can.” ✭✭✭✭✭ – Carrie Gooch (ScotsGay)“A strong performance that includes attractive and evocative singing.” ✭✭✭✭ – Theatre Guide London“Strong, melodic and dramatic delivery…Evocatively punctuates the narrative with songs.” – The Stage“She can write, she understands the use of irony.” – BPM Magazine“Knows how to own a stage…her style was refreshing, moody and beautiful.” – The South African“Aletia was mind-blowing.” – Live Jam TV“She has an earthy, raw voice with a lot of potential and honest emotion. Her down-tempo songs are her true strength.” – London Music Blog

Press Quotes:
“Genuinely thought-provoking…hugely entertaining….a warm and personal show” ★★★★ THE SCOTSMAN
“A triumphant hour of outrageous and dark jokes, not pushing but gleefully running straight through the boundaries of taste and acceptability in today’s “woke” culture” – BRITISH COMEDY GUIDE RECOMMENDED SHOW
“Kearse is seriously good. Quick, funny, smart and to the point…hilarious” – KATE COPSTICK
“A giant of the art” – STEVE BENNETT, CHORTLE
“Rampantly self-interested, prone to generalisations and stereotypes, and with a penchant for punching down rather than up…the audience were roaring with laughter” – One4Review.co.uk
“The fact he gets belly laughs out of global warming, self-identification and the unequal distribution of white privilege does not make him a racist, transphobic monster, just a very good comic” ★★★★ THE SCOTSMAN
“Very funny, very dirty, occasionally shocking, but edgily likeable and happily endearing, eliciting the guilty pleasure of laughter from a wide-eyed audience” – ★★★★ THE LIST
“Very tall and very funny… such energy and aplomb that the audience is left powerless to resist… one of the most enjoyable shows of the Fringe” – THREE WEEKS ****
“Really does soar to some great comedic heights” – THE LIST
“A personal and entertaining comedy hour” – ★★★★ LONDON THEATRE
“He churns out the gags, provoking a steady stream of laughs in his tight set, which strides purposefully between topics with muscular, efficient lines on each. Kearse was both an audience and judges’ favourite, and the deserved winner” – Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Bad…genuinely offensive…a traumatic experience for some audience members” – The National Student

Opera singer and comedian
MADAME CHANDELIER
Canadian soprano, Delea Shand aka Madame Chandelier, trained and performed as a classical singer for over a decade. Then she had kids, and moved from NYC to London, lured, mostly, by the promise of free babysitting from her husband’s British parents. She loves doing stand-up, because she can write jokes and take care of her kids by day, and do comedy by night, while her husband is home doing half of the childcare. Ask her kids what this show is about, and they’ll say: “Mommy does opera jokes.”
Delea has a degree from one good music college, and three more from places her parents mostly just resent having to paying for. She won Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s Got Talent competition, 2018.
