From the Royal Opera House Covent Garden to a tent in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan.
I regularly headline in West End venues such as the Hippodrome Leicester Square, Café de Paris and Duckie; also the Royal Opera House, the Barbican, The National Theatre, Home House, Soho House and the Hurlingham Club. My Channel 4 series of shorts "Madame Galina's Rough Guide to Choreography" was twice broadcast worldwide. I’ve toured throughout Great Britain in the one-man shows Anything for a Tenor, Madame Galina Ballet Star Galactica/New Forces’ Sweetheart and the award-winning play Along Came Bill.
Following a private recital onboard H.M.S. Victory for Queen Elizabeth ii, I auditioned (by mistake) to perform my variety turn Madame Galina Ballet Star Galactica for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Launched at the Hippodrome, my memoir about these accidental tours, "My Tutu Went AWOL", was published by Unbound Books in 2016 and appeared as a self-narrated Audible audiobook in 2018. It topped the Amazon Gay and Lesbian biography chart and reached number two in Comedy.
I've toured the book to all the major literary festivals.
