BBC’s Dead Ringers star Jan Ravens has announced dates around the Greater London area for her show “A Funny Look at Impressions” running from May to October 2009.
As one of the UK’s foremost impressionists, Ravens takes the experience of her distinguished career and distils it into a revelatory evening of entertainment. This is a unique glimpse into the fascinating and hilarious world of satirical impersonation. Ravens’ starring roles include all the women over Dead Ringers seven series; Alistair McGowan’s Big Impressions and the legendary Spitting Image.
Following its 2008 premiere at The National Theatre as a Platform performance, an extended version of the show will tour during 2009. Through the performance, Ravens reveals how she creates her remarkable takes on politicians and celebrities, treating her audience to many of her most renowned impressions along the way. From Anne Robinson and Nigella Lawson to Ann Widdecombe and Her Majesty The Queen, plus of course her unforgettable takes on Fiona Bruce and Kirsty Wark. No woman in the public eye is safe from Ravens’ razor sharp observation and unique satirical wit.
