Rory Bremner has extended his successful Making An Impression tour into 2026. 

The master satirist is back with an intimate show that combines his signature stand-up with candid conversation, accompanied by a rotating cast of special guest hosts. Kicking off in Guildford on 10th May 2026, the show will take in venues across the UK before finishing in Ipswich on 6th June. Tickets are on sale now and available from https://www.fane.co.uk/rory-bremner. 

Bremner’s virtuoso display of 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 legendary 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 chameleonic 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.

Rory Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist (‘a one-man opposition party’ Daily Telegraph). 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. WTF?)

In a TV career of over 30 years, he’s 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 -back at the BBC- 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).

In his spare time (as if) he translates operas and plays from French Carmen, (Spier Festival) and Orpheus in the Underworld (Scottish Opera)) and German (Kurt Weill’s The Silver Lake, (Broomhill Opera) & The Seven Deadly Sins and Bertolt Brecht’s A Respectable Wedding (Young Vic)- the latter directed by Joe Hill Gibbons and starring James Corden.
