The Imitator at Assembly CheckPoint

The Imitator, from Madrid, Las Vegas, and Edinburgh to New York

1 Singer, 70 Voices and a Story to Tell

Music and songs are the key elements that trigger Julian's memories, and set him off on a journey back to his childhood in South America where he discovers his passion for music and his gift for imitating voices. From there, he faces struggles in New York and Europe as he pursues his dream of becoming an artist. Singer/actor Julián Fontalvo portrays different characters that play a part in his story and imitates 70 artists such as Sting, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner.

Julián Fontalvo returns to the Edinburgh Fringe for the third time with his acclaimed show The Imitator, this time at a new venue: Assembly Checkpoint. He previously performed in New York at the United Solo Festival, the world's largest solo theatre festival, where he was awarded Best International Show. Additionally, Julián has presented the show over seven seasons in Madrid and at the prestigious Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, as well as during two previous editions of the Fringe.

An international showman, he has appeared in over 60 cities across 23 countries, performing for celebrities such as Michael Douglas and Anne Hathaway. He has been cast in Spanish productions of We Will Rock You, Monty Python’s Spamalot, and Avenue Q. He is also highly sought after for exclusive corporate and private events; he even had the honor of being the sole performer at tennis champion Rafa Nadal’s wedding, at the personal request of the sportsman.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see an outstanding performer with a truly unique talent!
