WHEN little Ceri Jones impersonated his school teachers as a kid, little did he know it would lead to a full-time career in showbiz.
But Ceri, who is better known as South Wales female impersonator Ceri Dupree, is now celebrating 25 years on stage with a special show at St David’s Hall, Cardiff, tomorrow night.
His Frock With Laughter show will feature some of the favourite leading ladies he’s sent up over the years like Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey and Catherine Zeta Jones.
“As a kid I was always the class comedian,” said Ceri, 43, who grew up in Swansea with his mum Averil, a former opera singer, dad Malcolm, a club cabaret star and younger sister Ria, who is now a West End stage star.
