KRISTILEE

Kristilee is one of Australia’s leading piano bar entertainers and her comedy/cabaret alter ego, LuLu LaMarr, Cabaret Star, is a multiple award winner. But that’s not all! Along with rollicking piano gigs, she has written and performed in critically acclaimed comedy shows, fronted jazz ensembles, belted out lead roles in musical theatre, and written and recorded award-winning original music. 

Kristilee has shared the stage with some of Australia’s foremost performers. Among them are John Foreman, Debra Byrne, Casey Bennetto and Nina Ferro. Kristilee has hit the high notes at the Edinburgh Festival and appeared onstage at London’s legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott’s, belting out a few tunes with the original Blues Brothers Band.

Kristilee spent several years sailing the high seas, inspiring audiences with New Orleans-style gospel sets with the Peter Meijers Quartet (Holland America), and bringing the party vibe in the Carnival Spirit’s Shanghai Piano Bar.

An avid traveller, Kristilee has a wealth of international experience. What began as a one-month contract playing solo shows in a piano bar in Dresden, Germany, led to a whirlwind of travelling, playing and sampling the gastronomic delights of Europe, Scandinavia, the UK and Morocco. Kristilee has delighted audiences in, among many other places: a thermal spa resort, Tirolean Alps, Austria; an Australian bar, Dresden, Germany; a Brazilian bar, Dresden, Germany; The Parkhotel Laurin, Bolzano, Italy; the Casablanca Hyatt, Morocco; and with 1,000 accordionists aboard a Baltic Ferry sailing between Stockholm and Helsinki.

Her adventures in far-flung piano bars of the world inspired Kristilee to write and star in Melbourne Comedy Festival hit show Ramblings, which garnered a four-star review in The Age and was staged for two years running.

Kristilee was a finalist in the 2012 and 2013 Darebin Songwriters’ Awards. Her original bluegrass tunes receive airplay across Australian country radio and TV shows.

Most recently, Kristilee has been taking the Australian comedy and cabaret scenes by storm. LuLu LaMarr, Cabaret Star, won two awards (Best Cabaret and Best Female Performer) at the 2017 Short + Sweet Cabaret Festival in Melbourne. Check out www.lululamarr.com for more information!
