A brilliant after dinner performer and celebrity awards host, Jon has a catalogue of over 350 voices and impersonations including Boris Johnson, Professor Brian Cox, Barack Obama, Alan Carr, Andy Murray, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage.
Star of Radio 4‘s Dead Ringers, Jon first made international headlines in 1998 by calling the switchboard of No. 10 Downing Street and fooling the operators with his impression of William Hague. He was put directly through to Prime Minister Tony Blair.
This is a busy time for Jon with a new series of ITV’s impressionist show Newzoids, the return of the hugely successful Dead Ringers and several other exciting projects, including appearing on Frank Skinner On Demand and Channel 5’s The Cars That Made Britain Great.
