Rory Bremner is an Impressionist and one of sharpest and best known in the UK. Born in Edinburgh on 6th April 1961, Rory shares a birthday with lan Paisley and Paul Daniels. (Oh dear).
He started out on the cabaret circuit in London and Edinburgh, doing lectures by day and stand-up comedy at night before graduating to the radio satire shows News Revue (LBC) and Week Ending for the BBC.
TELEVISION:
He first appeared on national television on The Tube in 1984 and after guesting on the Central TV series And There’s More, he had his own series on BBC2 for seven years.
