16: Rory Bremner – Learning to laugh: how to keep upbeat
10 Jul 2020
Rory Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist. 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. In a TV career of over 30 years, he’s won numerous awards, including three BAFTAs for his long-running Channel 4 satire series Bremner Bird & Fortune. In addition, he’s written and starred in satirical specials covering four elections, the Blair Government, the Iraq War, the financial crisis, and the Scottish Referendum. He’s guested on many other comedy shows (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), and has frequently appeared on Radio 4’s Newsquiz. He’s also written diaries and columns for the FT, New Statesman, and Daily Telegraph.
