		On the evidence of this week-long Assembly Rooms run, Rory Bremner is no slouch on-stage: he is smart, urbane and at ease.
		But, in a theatre, in front of his expectant hometown crowd, there is something dissatisfying in dramatic terms about Bremner's mild manner (impersonating Blair isn't such a leap) and act that consists of sketch-sized chunks.
		But the force of Bremner's satire on personality-oriented politics is diminished by the fact that, as a mimic, his own routines are necessarily personality-led.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - Rory Bremner: From Blair To Here
		Bremner provided the satire in this fast-paced show in which he impersonated various members of the cabinet, Bird and Fortune humorously reviewed the government's time in power in one of their spoof interviews and the computer-generated Peter Mandelson discussed spin tactics (while occasionally metamorphosing into a sort of manic demon).
		More fun was generated by the technique of superimposing a pair of lips on to library footage of the face of deputy PM John Prescott, thereby enabling Bremner to literally put words in his mouth.
		This was another quality contribution from Bremner and his team; in a TV world of increasingly safe options it was reassuring to know that the torch of political satire was in safe hands.

	Amanda Hodges Theatre Critic / London Theatre Reviews / Rory Bremner 02 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mimicry is endlessly entertaining and few in the field can surpass Rory Bremner whose particular brand of political satire usually brims with perspicacity and irreverent wit.
		As the show opens 'Tony Blair' (a bewigged Bremner) admonishes the audience for their mindless culpability and pleasure in parody; it's a great intro and sets the tone (excuse the pun!) for the rest of the evening which becomes a sort of vocal greatest hits package.
		Their sketch exposing the British Army's apparently woeful preparations for war in Iraq is a gem and though Bird's brief stint as Robert Mugabe is less seamless, Fortune's perverse tale of dubious bliss aboard a British train scores highly on irony as the country rattles towards a third world service.

		The show had a simple format: Bremner would deliver long routines on a simple stage set, in which he would rapidly segue from one impression to the next.
		These Bafta Award-winning shows saw Bremner consolidate his deserved reputation as Britain's greatest-ever impressionist, now operating almost exclusively in the political field, and their many strengths would be incorporated into his next C4 series, Bremner, Bird And Fortune (see below) which began in 1999.
		On 1 May 1994, Bremner appeared in C4's The Charter 88 Bad Government Awards, a spoof awards ceremony highlighting the individuals and offices that have done the most to restrict the flow of information to the general public.
