A while ago I was listening to Radio 4 or BBC7, I can't remember the name of the show.
The comic in question did a cover of the song 'Teenage Dirtbag', alternating between the voices/styles of Tom Waits and David Bowie.
I offer the prize of 100 internets to the person who can identify either the comic or show in question.
Thanks
Earl Okin does a bossa nova version?

I'll check it out. This guy was singing a few lines doing a really funny Tom Waits impression, then the following lines as Bowie. It was really good and very funny to hear the contrasting styles.
The only other act I can think of who might do that is long time Barry Cryer collaborator, Ronnie Golden.
Do you have any other info about the act or the show?

I'm afraid I don't. I'll check out Ronnie Golden. I'm pretty sure I've heard the show a couple of times so I suspect BBC 7s comedy club timeslot is where I heard it.
sorry for delay!
Ronnie Golden; show was "4 at the store", series 2 ep 3. First broadcast 10th Jan 2002.
Currently on iplayer until Feb 5th 2017 (must have been repeated; i heard it on iplayer radio yesterday!)
Take care,
