Rory Bremner
Impressionist
Britain's most celebrated impressionist continues to parody the foibles, cock-ups, excesses and excuses of the Great and Good. After making his acting debut in the West End and working in opera, he is back on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. In cabaret Rory offers his own tribute to the famous and infamous of British and international politics.
Biography
Rory is Britain’s best-loved impressionist. With a repertoire of over a hundred characters, he impersonates everyone from film stars to chat show hosts, sportsmen to newsreaders and politicians, to fellow comedians.
His series Rory Bremner…Who Else? and Bremner, Bird & Fortune, have been among the sharpest satire shows on television. Rory frequently appears in one-off topical specials including Between Iraq and a Hard Place, and Silly Money, a four-part satirical documentary on the global banking crisis. He frequently appears on a range of both comic and serious programmes including Question Time, The One Show, QI, and This Week. He was a regular on Mock the Week and partnered Erin Boag on Strictly Come Dancing.
Rory has also hosted Breakfast with Frost, written diaries for the Daily Telegraph and The New Statesman and translated a number of operas including Kurt Weill’s Der Silbersee for Broomhill Opera (he speaks fluent German, French and Spanish). He's even achieved chart success with his single Nineteen Not Out, performed with the BBC cricket commentary team.
Rory fronted an episode of BBC’s Horizon – ADHD and Me, to uncover the science of the condition. This followed on from his Radio 4 documentary which explored his own self-diagnosis of ADHD.
He has twice won the British Comedy Award for Top Male Performer as well as BAFTA’s Best Light Entertainment Award.
“Rory put the event on the map.”
Utterly splendid – so entertaining, funny and sincere. An absolute pleasure to deal with!
Rory was a professional from start to finish. He was patient with us through the run through. Paid attention and went with the flow. His performance on the night was superb. Everyone loved him. He responded to our last minute request to extend his set by 5 minutes with aplomb too. He then took us through the categories quickly but without feeling rushed. And he added some humour in there too. At the end of the night he was very gracious and patient (again!) this time with the mobs of women (and men) who wanted their photos taken with him. Then, before he left, he made a point of rooting out all the team to give them a personal thanks and well done. A true gent!
Can you pass on my (and everyone at PFI’s) thanks to Rory Bremner please? We all thought he was spot-on – not just with the jokes/impressions but also with the way he controlled the audience in what could easily have been a very boring presentation. Clearly he puts great effort into these things, which is much appreciated, and there was not one negative comment about him. It was nice that he had time for us all too. Nice bloke. Definite contender for the IFR Awards next year.
Rory had read the brief and was very well prepared. Audience feedback on Rory was excellent, they thought he was the best speaker we have had at our dinner for some time.
Rory was outstanding from start to finish. He joined us for dinner which our guests loved and his performance was so topical witty and right on the button. Everyone raved about him the next day at our trade show and he just proved a perfect fit for our event.
