Caroline Westbrook, Metro, 16th February 2013The impressions show with Morgana Robinson and Terry Mynott continues. The mimicry is good, especially Mynott's, but what they've found to say about their targets is disappointingly bland. Russell Brand talks like this. Natalie Cassidy's a bit dumpy. It's not enough. And there's got to be a less clunky way of introducing impressions than: "I'm Gordon Ramsay." We know. And if we can't tell, don't do the impression. Like so much that has gone before, VIP falls into the "sometimes clever but not that funny" category.
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 11th May 2012The showpiece of Channel 4's new Friday night comedy line-up is a brand new impressions show.
Morgana Robinson appears with one of her co-stars from The Morgana Show, Terry Mynott - a comedy actor so unfamous he doesn't even have his own Wikipedia page yet.
But he absolutely steals this first episode with his spot-on take of the BBC's favourite groovy scientist Professor Brian Cox, posing in front of areas of natural beauty wearing high street brands.
It's the voice that makes it so funny - and it's a parody that's cutting but sweetly affectionate too.
I doubt though that Bear Grylls will be as pleased with the job they've done on him as he tries to survive in the suburbs.
Mynott's take on David Attenborough explaining the lifestyle of Frankie Boyle is another zinger.
Behind the rubber masks, it can be hard to tell who's doing who.
Morgana impersonates men too. Her Russell Brand isn't a patch on her Natalie Cassidy, though.
Jane Simon, The Mirror, 27th April 2012You can't help being trepidatious about this new impressions show. It's focused on the trashier end of celebrity, it stars Morgana Robinson and Terry Mynott, who received mixed reviews for The Morgana Show, and the fact that it's a new impressions show is worrying in itself.
Much of Very Important People is indeed cheap and derivative, leaning heavily on gaps filled with swearing and, in the case of doing Brian Cox as a preening fop, jokes that were dead and gone 12 months ago. But I must admit that Robinson's takes on Frankie Boyle, Danny Dyer and Natalie Cassidy had me spluttering merrily.
