About this show

What happens when Britain's sharpest political impressionist steps out from behind the masks? For four decades, Rory Bremner has been the voice of our times. Now, the master satirist is back for his signature stand-up with candid conversation. From his satire series Bremner, Bird & Fortune, and appearances on Mock the Week and James Graham's Quiz, Rory's chameleonic career defies categorisation. Don't miss this rare chance to see Britain's foremost impressionist blend sharp comedy and conversation in an evening of acute observations, pitch-perfect impressions, and surprising revelations.
