Catch political satirist Rory Bremner in conversation this October
Posted on: 16 Aug 2019After three decades of political mockery, impressionist Rory Bremner has become a bit of a comedy legend. Now Bristol has the chance to learn about the person behind the gibes.
On 17 October, Bremner will be sitting down with broadcaster Matthew Sweet at St George’s to discuss his career as Britain’s best-loved impressionist.
The night will take a look back at clips and stories from Bremner, Bird and Fortune, and the comedian’s many appearances on shows such as Whose Line Is It Anyway, Have I Got News for You and Mock the Week.
The event has been staged by Bristol Slapstick Festival – an annual celebration of silent and classic screen comedy – and Bristol Festival of Ideas.
At a time when the political climate is glum, we couldn’t think of a better man to bring us a bit of satirical sunshine.
Tickets cost £21, and you can get yours here. St George's is located: Great George Street (off Park Street), Bristol, BS1 5RR.
