Claude Véga

Claude Véga was a French impressionist, humourist, and actor. He was widely known as a pioneer of modern stage parody in France. Véga became known as one of the first male performers in France to build a career impersonating female celebrities on stage, portraying figures such as Maria Callas, Barbara, Edwige Feuillère and Jacqueline Maillan. Although best known for his female impersonations, his repertoire also included male public figures such as Charles Aznavour, Louis de Funès, Yves Montand and Jacques Dutronc.
