Worcestershire-born Alistair McGowan followed in the footsteps of Mike Yarwood to become one of the country’s most revered impressionists. He’s also worked extensively in the theatre, appearing in productions including Little Shop Of Horrors, for which he received an Olivier nomination.

Alistair makes a return to the Midlands this month with a show in which he combines ‘classic comedy, poetry and beautiful piano music’. The latter comes courtesy of his new-found talent as a classical pianist.
