Kevin Connelly

Kevin Connelly is one of the stars of BBC2's and BBC Radio 4's highly acclaimed Dead Ringers series which won the prestigious Sony Radio Academy Award for Comedy. His impressions of public figures including Andrew Marr, David Dimbleby, Andrew Neil, Steve McClaren and Richie Benaud are uncannily accurate.

Born in Middlesbrough, Kevin found fame while still at school, mimicking his fellow students and, of course, his teachers. While working as restaurant manager in his brother-in-law's hotel near Thirsk, he would entertain his customers at the end of the evening to a small cameo piece. It was through this venue that someone asked him to speak at the Yorkshire CCC dinner. Engagements rolled in from there and eventually he decided to give up his position in restaurant management to become a professional impressionist.

Kevin Connelly's many television credits include Today with Des and Mel, BBC Sports Review of The Year, It's Just Not Cricket With Rory Bremner, The Impressionable Jon Culshaw and Double Take. Kevin's other radio credits include Talk Radio's World Cup team for France '98, The Steve Penk Breakfast Show and BBC Radio Five Live's Christmas Sport Review of 2005, Freddie Flintoff Ate My Ashes.

Kevin Connelly is in great demand for corporate events and sportsmen's dinners and has worked for clients in the UK and Europe including Sanyo, Credit Suisse, The Variety Club, Lloyds TSB, The Institute of Bankers, Sports' Journalists Association, Norwich City Football Club, The Football Association and the Chamber of Commerce.

Kevin's extensive repertoire includes sportsmen, politicians and television personalities and characters as well as a spectacular Sir Elton John performance!
