Jon CulshawThe primary voice of British satire and impressions

Widely regarded as the leading impressionist in the United Kingdom, Jon Culshaw possesses a versatile range exceeding 350 distinct voices. His repertoire spans the spheres of politics, sport, and popular culture, featuring meticulously crafted portrayals of figures such as Boris Johnson, Brian Cox, and Alan Carr. His career accelerated after winning a Radio 1 talent search and joining the iconic satirical programme Spitting Image, where he provided the voices for forty characters including Michael Portillo and Frank Bruno. He gained international notoriety for a legendary prank call to Downing Street, where his impression of William Hague successfully bypassed security to reach the Prime Minister, an event later recorded in Hansard. Beyond his celebrated work on the long-running Dead Ringers and The Impressions Show, Culshaw has demonstrated significant range as a dramatic actor, recently portraying David Bowie in the BBC radio production The Final Take. His professional interests extend into the sciences; a dedicated amateur astronomer, he is a frequent contributor to The Sky at Night and has authored a regular column for the show's companion magazine. He also frequently collaborates with Professor Brian Cox on broadcasts such as The Infinite Monkey Cage and Stargazing Live. With decades of experience at the forefront of British entertainment, he remains a perennial favourite for high-profile events. Audiences book him for his extraordinary vocal precision, his sharp comedic timing, and his unique ability to bring contemporary public figures to life with sophisticated wit.
