E
rrol Stroebel and Kat Gilardi met in 2004, and soon
got married.
They came onto the gay scene in 2010 when Kat entered and Won Miss Cape Town Pride. She went on to win Miss
Gay Cape Town that same year, and thereafter, won Miss Gay
Western Cape.
Errol was a finalist for Mr Gay South Africa and the couple
became wildly known as the ‘Gay Posh and Becks’ of the Cape
Flats. Errol then went on to win the First Ever Mr Gay Cape
Town in 2012.
A documentary was filmed, ‘Glitterboys and Ganglands’, which
won Best LGBT Movies of the Year at the San Diego Black Film
Festival in USA.
After that, Kat started the group 3D (three divas cabaret) in
2010, which is now the hottest cabaret group in South Africa.
Sharing the stage with Karin Kortjie, Salome, Judy Boucher,
Jimmy Nevis and Mi Casa.
Errol started doing duets with Kat at Black Pearl’s ThursGay
Night hosted by PJ Smith, performing Barbara Streisand and
Bryan Adams “I finally found someone” which became a hot
favourite.
They are also well known for Kat Gilardi’s DIVA’s One Night
Only, a glittering event which is firmly established on the cabaret circuit having first started in 2010. As a highlight in the gay
events calendar, DIVA’s One Night Only is not to be missed.
They have performed numerous duets together, being the only
“male” and female duet couple on the gay scene. Valentines Day,
marked the first ever duet Show at Zer021 Lounge. “I was so
nervous, not knowing how the audience would react to me, because it was the first time I have ever done a solo performance.
After a few drinks, I was comfortable enough to do a solo and
the audience reaction was unbelievable. ‘Roberto wants us
back, and that says that he was happy with my performance”
Kat and I are planning another show, to the request from Roberto”. Sometimes you need a show with a difference and we did.
They have also recently performed in Mossel Bay to a standing
ovation. Working together, they have gone on from the pageant
scene to the cabaret scene, being the first couple in Cape Town
to do so. This is history in the making.
