The Edinburgh Fringe One-Weeker 2018 – Rory Bremner and Jan Ravens, 19th August 2018

Rory Bremner and Jan RavensTime for some political satire mixed in with some deadly impersonations. Our next show is Rory Bremner and Jan Ravens, at Underbelly George Square (Udderbelly) at 15:30 on Sunday 19th. This is what it says on the website: “She’s Merkel to his Trump. He’s Boris to her Theresa. Two of Britain’s top impressionists come together on one bill, also featuring personalities from Farage to Lumley, Dianne Abbott to Fiona Bruce and the sublime to Jacob Rees Mogg. Over 30 characters for the price of two (three at weekends). A unique mix of impressions and satire from the stars of Bremner, Bird and Fortune and Dead Ringers.”

We saw Jan Ravens’ Edinburgh Difficult Woman show last year and it was brilliant – in fact it won last year’s Chrisparkle Award for Edinburgh Best of the Rest! Together with Rory Bremner you just know the pair are going to be so mischievous; this is going to be a real treat. This short run has been sold out for over a month. Check back after 4pm to see how much fun we had. By then the next preview blog should be available to read

As I suspected, Rory and Jan proved themselves a dream team, with them mainly doing separate routines but coming together for a great satire on Brexit through the medium of Basil and Sybil Fawlty. A little of Jan’s material was repeated from last year, but it’s still great and both their impressionist skills are still second to none. A huge full house all had a brilliant time.
