EDDIE EDWARDS – was born in 1965 and grew up in California with his identical twin brother Anthony. Both boys were fascinated with celebrities at a very early age.

Living near the famous NBC TV-Studios in Burbank, they would sneak in and watch the various shows being taped. At home, the brothers would then play together, mimicking the stars and memorizing the skits from "The Sonny and Cher Show," "The Carol Burnett Show" and "Laugh-In".

Eddie's voice was higher-pitched than Anthony's, so he usually got to play the females. Eddies first celebrity impersonation was that of Lily Tomlin's alter-ego "Ernestine the Operator". One Halloween at the nightclub "La Cage aux Folles," he dressed up as a woman and was asked that night by an employee, if he had ever thought about impersonating Barbra Streisand.

Shortly thereafter, Eddie began seriously studying the art of makeup application and learned the "tricks of the trade" he needed to help him create the illusion of turning an "Ordinary looking MALE into a spectacular, world-famous FEMALE." Eddie auditioned, was hired by the world-famous "La Cage aux Folles" and for years traveled the globe impersonating Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler. Just like audiences from Singapore to Miami, the casting director of "La Cage" was stunned, not only by Eddie's appearance but by his uncanny ability to perform EXACTLY like the women he was impersonating.

American television icon Carol Burnett played a major role in the Twins success, when she suggested that the two brothers combine forces and do a show together. They took her advice. Eddie joined his identical twin Anthony, and they started to perform their own star-filled spectacular "Celebrities on Stage".

In their shows, Eddie performs as Barbra Streisand, Cher and Bette Midler. His performances are awe-inspiring in their perfection. From his bashful Barbra ...to his outrageous Bette…and finally to his fabulous, provocative, stage-galloping Cher, the audiences can hardly believe that one brilliantly-talented MAN plays them all.

Wherever they perform, not only are the audiences thrilled, but the press showers The Edwards Twins with rave reviews. John Marquis of the Miami Herald wrote the following, after seeing "Celebrities on Stage" for the third time:

"In an age when TV deifies mediocrities and picks "Idols" -- it’s really good to see genuinely outstanding talent. They must be among the very best."

Eddie Edwards is truly a Master Female Impressionist.
