Ernesto Tomasini\\xa0is an Italian actor/singer/writer living in Britain. Best known for his more recent forays into contemporary music, he has also had a 30-year career on the stage.

Ernesto begun his career at 16 on the Italian comedy circuit and, later, in the legitimate theatre. Throughout his teens Ernesto devised\\xa0comedy\\xa0sketches and sang songs in smoky clubs and small cabaret spaces in his home town of\\xa0Palermo. On one instance he caused a riot by performing his "outrageous" show at a conservative political party\'s celebrations.\\xa0He kept his cabaret activities secret from his parents;\\xa0his mother found out the truth about her son\'s suspicious nights out long after his debut, by reading an article about his shows on the national\\xa0press.

He has sung his repertoire in London venues like the\\xa0Royal Albert Hall\\xa0(main house and Elgar Room),\\xa0Purcell Room,\\xa0National Theatre,\\xa0Roundhouse,\\xa0Cadogan Hall,\\xa0Tate Britain,\\xa0National Portrait Gallery, and in historical theatres, museums and churches around the world. As a recording artist he sings on thirteen albums, four singles, five music videos and on the soundtrack of a film by\\xa0Bruce LaBruce.
