Our host 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.)
