Rory Bremner is going back on tour with a new show called Making An Impression. The tour will take in venues across the UK this May and June. Tickets are on sale now and available from https://www.fane.co.uk/rory-bremner.
Bremner’s vocal mimicry, topical satire and revealing insights will be on full display as he looks back on his career in an evening filled with acute observations, pitch-perfect impressions, and surprising revelations about the people he has imitated and his own self-discovery.
From his satire series Bremner, Bird & Fortune to his appearances on Mock the Week and his memorable turn as Chris Tarrant in James Graham’s Quiz, Rory's career defies categorisation. He has not only shaped political discourse but also demonstrated a unique ability to entertain and inform across a range of media, including opera translation, theatre and his work championing those with ADHD. This rare opportunity to see Britain’s foremost impressionist live, blending stand-up and conversation in one unforgettable evening, is not to be missed.
As a mimic, he’s provided definitive impersonations of PMs and Presidents from Major to Mandela, Blair to Brown, Clinton to Cameron and Bush to Trump. As himself, he’s been presenter, writer, quiz-show host, actor, translator and even (briefly) ballroom dancer (Strictly, 2011).
He has won numerous awards, including 3 BAFTAs for his long-running Channel 4 satire series Bremner Bird & Fortune, featuring Rory and the two Johns. In addition, he’s written and starred in satirical specials covering four elections, the Blair Government, (From Blair to Here, My Government and I) the Iraq War (Between Iraq and a Hard Place, Beyond Iraq and a Hard Place), the financial crisis of 2008 (Silly Money) and the Scottish Referendum (Rory Goes to Hollyrood, (2014)) and the Coalition government (Rory Bremner’s Coalition Report, Rory Bremner’s Election Report (2015)).
He retraced his family history for Who Do You Think You Are and travelled all over Britain for the ITV daytime series Rory Bremner’s Great British Views (2012).
He’s also guested on many other comedy shows including Whose Line is it Anyway, Spitting Image, Have I Got News for You, and Mock the Week, where he was team captain for two series. He was a regular guest on both Wogan and Parkinson and has frequently appeared on Radio 4’s Newsquiz, The Now Show, Radio Scotland’s Breaking The News and his own shows, Tonight and Bremner’s One Question Quiz.
