Oh, What a Night!

Lisieux’s Got Talent 2025 was nothing short of sensational! Nearly 200 people gathered at Sutton Town Hall to cheer on the performers, as almost 20 acts took to the stage and gave it their all.

The evening was expertly compered by Steve Walls, a seasoned entertainer with an impressive résumé that includes appearances with Ant and Dec and at The Champions League Final. The show kicked off with a high-energy dance performance from Tom and featured songs by legendary rock artists like Abba, Elvis, and Maroon 5.

A standout moment in the first half was a full-cast performance of The Greatest Showman by Francis House, complete with stunning costumes that wowed the audience.

The second half brought even more excitement, with Janet belting out Shirley Bassey classics, Steven unleashing his inner Freddie Mercury, Lucy delivering her signature take on Phyllis Nelson, and Danny embracing his “Irish blood” with a heartfelt rendition of Dirty Old Town.

After such an incredible lineup, it was over to the judges. Chaired by Trust friend Caroline, the panel included Directors Kevin, Elizabeth, and Pauline, as well as Resident Rosa. Their task was to narrow it down to the final three:

• Tom Dolan, who wowed the crowd with his Pitbull routine,
• Ade, who impressed with an original rap, and
• Jo, who delivered an outstanding performance as Tina Turner.

Following much deliberation, the judges awarded the crown to the Queen of Rock herself: Jo, who was simply the best!

Reflecting on the night, Rosa shared her thoughts:
“Organising these events is hard work, but I love doing it. Thanks to Alison for volunteering me—I think she trusts me! Events like these are great for people’s well-being, and that’s why I do it.”
