Rory Bremner will headline a night of top comedy at The Stables this month.
Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist, and has been described by the Daily Telegraph as "a one-man opposition party”. As a mimic, he’s provided definitive impersonations of prime ministers and presidents from Major to Mandela, Blair to Brown, Clinton to Cameron and Bush to Trump. As himself, he’s been a presenter, writer, quiz-show host, actor, translator and even briefly ballroom dancer in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
In a television career of more than 30 years, he’s won numerous awards, including three Baftas for his long-running Channel 4 satire series Bremner Bird & Fortune, featuring Rory with John Bird and John Fortune. He has guested on many other comedy shows – including 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 The News Quiz, The Now Show, Radio Scotland’s Breaking The News and his own shows, Tonight and Bremner’s One Question Quiz.
Bremner’s guests joining him on the line-up are Shappi Khorsandi and Alex Kealy. Khorsandi's career has taken her around the world, and she has appeared on countless television and radio shows including Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here, Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, MasterChef, Have I Got News For You, QI, Pointless Celebrities, Question Time and Just a Minute, as well as her own show, Shappi Talk.

In his first year of performing, he reached the final of the So You Think You’re Funny competition and is now a “rising star of the British stand-up scene”, according to entertainment guide The List. He has taken six hours of stand-up to the Edinburgh Fringe, the latest being 2024’s The Fear, which was received to packed rooms and critical acclaim. The Daily Telegraph calls him "sharply witty, almost sexily cerebral" while The List raved about his "breakneck pace with surprising turns”. He has toured his last three shows, including sold-out appearances at London's Soho Theatre. He has been supporting Jack Dee on 50 dates of his nationwide Small World tour.
