Think “Legato” as well, and you have some idea of how George Ikediashi’s alter ego sounds in the flesh. The vowels are smooth and well modulated, like a relic of old-school Radio 3. If you were talking to the 39-year-old actor and drag queen over the phone, you might easily think you were being addressed by an utterly conventional product of the public-school system. Le Gateau Chocolat, on the other hand, is anything but conventional. In a realm where excess and outrageous outfits are de rigueur, she still manages to catch everyone’s eye.
