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).

Born in Edinburgh on 6 April 1961, Rory was educated at Wellington College and Kings College London, where he gained a BA in French & German, imitating lecturers. He speaks French adequately, German inadequately, and enough Russian to impress you for 90 seconds (unless you’re Russian). By the time he’d graduated in 1984, he was already performing on the London stand-up circuit and at his native Edinburgh Festival Fringe, achieving his first TV series with the BBC in 1986. 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).

Meanwhile, 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) 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. He’s also written diaries & columns for the FT, New Statesman, & Daily Telegraph. Alongside Patricia Hodge and Caroline Quentin, Rory made his acting debut in Noel Coward’s Relative Values, directed by Trevor Nunn (Theatre Royal Bath and subsequently West End). In 2018 Rory exhibited his impressionist skills on a weekly basis as regular team captain on ITV’s the Imitation Game. In the same year he re-joined fellow mimic Jan Ravens for a live show at the Edinburgh festival, which went on to do a sell out UK tour.

Hugely experienced on the corporate circuit, Rory is available for awards hosting, after dinner cabaret sets, personal appearances, panels and compering.

Testimonials

“We wanted to thank Rory for his superb hosting skills and his professionalism. Rory was very easy to get along with and made me and the attendees feel at ease.”
Fed Awards June

“Rory was just fantastic and having attended three of these events in the past, I can honestly say I have never known the evening to pass so quickly. He was so entertaining, so funny, so sincere and it was just a pleasure to be in his company. He clearly was enjoying the evening too which makes such a difference. The feedback on the night was entirely positive, and lobbying has already begun to secure his services for next year! On top of all that he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.”
West London Business Awards

“All went really well on Friday night, Rory was excellent. John’s comment was simply ‘He knocked it out of the park, brilliant!’ He's also a great person to work with.”
Scottish Capital Office Opening

“Very many of our heads said how much they enjoyed having the chance to hear Rory speak. We can only imagine the demands on your time, and we are immensely grateful that you could be with us.”
Independent Association of Prep Schools and The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference 2022

“He went down a storm, and was able to combine the current political shenanigans with gardening effortlessly!! We enjoyed the fact that he ate with us and really engaged with all our guests, and Greenfingers charity loved the fact that he took it upon himself to initiate even more fundraising activities on the night too.”
Garden Industry Manufacturers' Association Awards

“The client was over the moon with Rory and said he’s the best speaker they’ve ever had! What always goes down well is his willingness to personalise his set tot their event and pulling in things that have happened during their daytime conference into his performance. It really makes it bespoke tot hem and shows he cares about the performance resonating with them. ”
County Councils Network Event

“Rory was brilliant as ever, he completely gets the audience and was very funny. He also moves the ceremony on at a very good pace as we do have rather a lot of very moving awards. It was an excellent evening and all guests remained glued to their chairs until the bitter end which was wonderful. ”
