Derrick Barry as Britney Spears THANK YOU TO THE FANS!
Derrick Barry has been a performer all his life. Born and raised in Modesto, California, he began training as a gymnast at the age of 5. After competing for 7 years, at 12 years old, he decided to trade in gymnastics for the Theatre. Derrick showcased his acting abilities in over 30 productions between junior high, high school and college. At the age of 19, he moved to Hollywood to further his passion for the art of performing. Halloween 2003 piloted his new found career of impersonating the amazingly talented Britney Spears. Summer of 2004 brought Derrick to Las Vegas to join the incredibly talented cast of An Evening at La Cage at The Riviera Hotel and Casino on The Strip. He can seen 6 nights a week with a showtime of 7:30pm. Derrick Barry also continues to entertain through his comedic videos known as “The Experiences”. He looks forward to a long career in the entertainment business both as an actor/comedian and female impersonator.
“The second time I dressed up like Britney Spears was at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on November 17, 2003. Production personnel in the studio went up and told Britney, while sitting next to Jay, I was in the audience. Britney was shocked. I heard her say “Oh My God’ as she covered her mouth. By this time, they already had a camera on me ready to record after the commercial break. Jay soon segwayed into asking her if she would date a guy like me. The camera was recording and the house lights came on. She said, “Yes. He’s very into himself.” I danced to the I’m a Slave 4 U routine in my head. It was my fifteen seconds of fame. Jay quickly replied, “I don’t think he’s into himself this guy. I think he’s into you.” She agreed, “Maybe so, maybe so” as she smiled and clapped for me. Jay later told Jim Belushi that he missed the “Bretney Spears” in the audience. The camera panned over on me one last time. This was truly one of the most exciting days in my career.” - Derrick Barry
Performing as BRITNEY SPEARS on the all new season of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, Tuesday nights on NBC
How he looks as a man. The crowd went absolutely wild when Derrick performed on America’s Got Talent this week.
Derrick Barry - Cross dressing female impersonator lip syncs to Britney Spears. He wants America to see that Female Impersonating is a true art form. Eh, I’ve seen loads better on street corners in Provincetown, MA. The REALLY good ones don’t lip sync. Derrick yammers on about how much he loves Britney. He takes the stage dressed in Britney’s school girl outfit and performs “Hit Me Baby One More Time”. I guess he’s got the dance moves down, but so what? Piers says that he doesn’t think grown men should be wearing schoolgirl outfits pretending to be Britney Spears. Sharon says “Derrick, darling, I just love you.” Hoff says he’s questioning his sexuality. Well then.
