  Steve Nallon
Steve Nallon (born December 8, 1960) is a British actor, writer and impressionist, best known as the man who impersonated Margaret Thatcher throughout her career as British prime minister (1979-1990).
Nallon, a graduate of the University of Birmingham, began his career as a stand-up performer on the northern club circuit, before joining the Spitting Image team in 1984.
He continues to perform in the guise of Baroness Thatcher, but combines impressions with other types of work, including writing and performing in the Radio 4 comedy series, The Nallon Tapes.

 IDEASFACTORY West Midlands - Performance Feature
Steve Nallon's name probably doesn't ring too many bells as he hardly ever appears as himself and his 'Christmas Carol' at the Rep is no exception.
Steve's third one-man show (he previously performed Alice in Wonderland and Homer's Odyssey), is a remake of Dickens classic fireside tale with the twist being that Kenneth Williams will play one of the ghosts and Patricia Routledge Mrs.
Steve also explains that there's a lot of copying in the world of impressions but sometimes that's allowed between friends - he and Alistair (we're allowed to say it now) often bargain for voices over the phone.

 The Stage / Edinburgh / Reviews / Steve Nallon's Adventures in Wonderland
A human carousel of characters, Nallon plucks them at will to bring Alice and her loopy co-stars to life.
Robin Williams becomes the White Rabbit, Kenneth Williams the Dodo, Ann Widdecombe the Duchess, David Beckham the Dormouse and, in a masterstroke of casting, Homer Simpson pontificates as the Caterpillar and Johnny Vegas morphs into Humpty Dumpty.
When Alice starts to shrink, Nallon has her descend the social scale - thereby going from posh Penelope Keith via a middle-class Maggie Smith to a very lower working-class Caroline Aherne of The Royle Family.

Popping the odd pair of glasses on doesn’t give sufficient feel of character change to help the audience, nor was it in keeping with the idea of adventure and discovery we were up for.
Steve’s classics were there - his famous Margaret Thatcher, Hyacinth Bouquet and Kenneth Williams - but also, along for the ride, were David Beckham and Barbra Streisand.
With a catalogue of characters to trawl through, Nallon’s audience participation is minimal and generally leads to befuddlement.
