“Paris in a Jazz Age”: The Memoirs of Eloise Defleur

Our popular show played Edinburgh Fringe 2025 receiving 5 Star Review and we’re taking it back to Edfringe this coming Summer 2026 playing at theSpaceUk again. Ticket link coming soon.

“As Eloise, Airlie Scott sparkles like a coupe of champagne at one of Gatsby’s shindigs. The band she’s leading are simply magnifique. Not a note out of place, not a beat missed — every swing a sensation. A triumphal blend of music, theatre, comedy and romance. Come for the jazz. Stay for the sass. Get your cream double-breasted overcoats on and go see this!”

Relive the vibrant swing scene of the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Musical tales of Eloise DeFleur, brought vividly to life by Airlie Scott and her talented band. A swinging blend of French chanson, gypsy jazz, blues and American songbook classics, tracing Parisian life from the exuberance of the Roaring Twenties, through the shadows of Occupation, to the joy of Liberation.

An intimate, atmospheric evening of storytelling and red-hot jazz — not to be missed.

The show also tours around the country to theatres and jazz clubs. Do let us know if you would like to book it. Upcoming dates on our events page.
