English by birth, Simon Gillespie arrived in Australia in November of ’96, having already established a successful career as an actor, singer and director in British Theatre.

Cabaret has been a constant feature in Simon’s career and he now enjoys enormous popularity as a solo performer both internationally and in Australia. Simon is also a highly popular feature artist appearing on cruise ships globally.

Musical sets are always varied and well crafted, whether delivering a pure variety set including hits from Broadway shows and a range of classic and more recent material or when performing in his personal tribute to the greatest of all Australian singer-songwriters: Peter Allen. Simon’s delivery is both sophisticated and deliberately ‘tongue-in-cheek’. This is true entertainment.

Simon’s wealth of experience in theatre, TV, film, radio and cabaret result in a strong sense of theatricality and presentational value, which he brings to each new project. He is known as an exacting and energetic performer, with an eye for detail and the ability to deliver. A much nominated artist for both Mo and ACE awards in Australia and in great demand on Cruise Lines internationally Simon is certainly among the best.
