The Carpenters' songs are gentle, melodic and instantly familiar. A Karen Carpenter tribute suits audiences who want to listen and sing along rather than dance all night.
About our Karen Carpenter tribute
Our Karen Carpenter tribute is performed by Katy, who created the show after regular comments about her similarity in voice and appearance to Karen Carpenter.
How the show can be booked
Katy's Karen Carpenter show runs as two 45-minute sets or one 60-minute set, and a Christmas show is also available. Two 45-minute sets leave a natural interval for a buffet or cake cutting. Pick the one-hour show if the tribute is the centrepiece. The act can provide background music during breaks. There is a Christmas version for December dates.
The songs guests will expect
A good Karen Carpenter tribute builds the set around the best-known songs from the 70s:
- Close to You
- We've Only Just Begun
- Yesterday Once More
- Top of the World
- Rainy Days and Mondays
- Superstar
Why this show is worth a look
- Katy trained on the musical theatre course at the Italia Conti Academy.
- She performed in West End musicals and spent four years as a production singer on cruise lines.
- She wears vintage replica costumes, and her profile is built around Karen's low, velvety tone.

Space and set-up
Ask us what equipment comes with the act and what the venue needs to provide. A changing space a few steps from the stage keeps the costume changes quick. Most performers need about an hour to set up and sound check before guests arrive in the room.
