Simon Lipson

I'm a former professional stand-up and impressionist. In addition to my live work at venues like the Comedy Store and Jongleurs, I was a regular performer and (occasional writer) on various BBC Radio shows like Dead Ringers, Week Ending, And This Is Them, Loose Ends and my own sketch comedy series Fordham & Lipson.

I now host the Making An Impression podcast. Guests include Rory Bremner, Alistair McGowan, Josh Berry, Ronni Ancona, Kate O'Sullivan, Scheiffer Bates, Al Foran and many more. In the current series, we perform new sketches and delve into the impressionist's tool bag to learn about pitch, accents, placement, influences, tricks and techniques. Insights, anecdotes, laughs.
