Kevin Connelly is a comedian and an impressionist. He is well known as one of the best impressionists of sporting personalities around, but he has a repertoire of mimicking politicians and television characters too. Kevin has many television credits (including ‘Its Just not Cricket’ with Rory Bremner). Kevin delights his audiences at after dinner events; he is equally at home at sporting dinners as he is at corporate events.
Born in Middlesborough, Kevin found fame while still at school, mimicking his fellow students and, of course his teachers. As his ‘turn’ became more popular, he gained confidence and included a few leading personalities into his repertoires.
While working as restaurant manager in his brother-in-laws hotel near Thirst, he would entertain his customers at the end of the evening to a small cameo piece, quite unrehearsed, but which certainly delighted the clientele.
It was through this venue that someone asked him to speak at the Yorkshire CCC dinner. Engagements rolled on from there and eventually he decided to give up his position in restaurant management to become a professional impressionist.
Kevin’s many television credits include ‘Des O’Conner’s World Cup Party’, ‘The Full Motty’, ‘We’re On Our Way To Wembley’, ‘The Sports Show’, ‘It’s just Not Cricket’ with Rory Bremner, ‘Saint & Greavsie’ and ‘The Pavilion End’. He has also taken part in Talk Radio’s coverage of sporting events. Kevin features in the video ‘High Wide & Hansen’ and he is in great demand for corporate events and sporting dinners.
Kevin’s impressions are not limited to sporting personalities and his extensive repertoire includes politicians and television characters. Richard Littlejohn wrote in his Sun column that Kevin did a ‘wickedly accurate impression of Tony Blair’.
