Legendary cabaret artist Carlotta (of Les Girls fame) will host the CoastOut festival’s much-anticipated cocktail party.

Australian Cabaret Performer and Television Celebrity will grace the Coffs Coast as a Special Guest at this year’s Coast Out Welcome Cocktail party.  Carlotta began her long and illustrious career as one of the original members of the well known Les Girls.  Since hitting the stage at the Les Girls Nightclub in Kings Cross, Sydney in the early sixties, Carlotta worked her way to become not only the host of the popular cabaret show but soon became its most famous Member known around the globe.

While she was not the first in Australia to undergo gender reassignment, Carlotta’s operation in the early seventies gained much publicity due to her increasing popularity as a Performer and has long since been respected not only for her talents as a performer but also as a pioneer in the Transgender community and is much loved by both the Gay, Lesbian and Heterosexual community alike.  With but a few short breaks from touring internationally, Carlotta completed her long run with the Les Girls Show in 1992 after 26 years with the show.
