Steve Nallon
STEVE NALLON is recognised as being one of Britain’s leading impressionists and he is the perfect choice to deliver an after dinner speech or present awards, bringing a host of characters to the event!
After more than twelve years on the award winning series ‘Spitting Image’, he was team captain on ‘First Impressions’. As a celebrity guest, Steve has appeared on television shows such as ‘Noel’s Telly Years’ and the ever popular ‘Call My Bluff’.
Impressionist
Apart from sounding like the famous, Steve also has an uncanny ability to look like a wide range of people as well – from Dame Edna and David Bellamy to Patricia Routledge and Adrian Edmonson. Using his skills as an impressionist he has appeared in numerous corporate videos as well as compering various shows and conferences, including once appearing as John Cole, Sir Robin Day and Brian Walden all on the same afternoon!
After Dinner Speaker
As an after dinner speaker, Steve takes his audience on a comic tour through ‘The World of the Impressionist’. Steve’s vast range of voices ensures there is something for everyone, from sporting celebrities such as racing’s Peter Sullevan and snooker’s Ted Lowe, to numerous television personalities including Bruce Forsyth, Terry Christian, Alan Bennett, David Attenborough plus a whole ‘Whodunit’ spoof incorporating Inspector Morse, Sergeant Lewis, Cadfael and Miss Marple. For a ‘Blind Date’ parody he not only becomes Cilla Black, but four celebrity contestants as well! Steve shows too how some voices are strangely related, as he moves seamlessly between, for example, Peter Lorre, James Mason, Jack Nicholson, Woody Allen and the children’s cartoon character Speedy Gonzales.
Steve’s after dinner act is unique and highly entertaining. It is suitable for a mixed audience, offering a totally different experience to people of all tastes and can be personalised to suit the individual needs of any client
Margaret Thatcher
Steve has made countless television appearances as Margaret Thatcher. With the real Henry Kissinger, ‘The Baroness’ was recently a guest speaker at a major European Business Conference. Travelling across Europe and America, Steve’s impersonation of Margaret Thatcher has been seen at numerous events. After livening up a business session or giving a welcome to guests, Steve often then returns as himself for the evening dinner to perform his highly original impressionist act.
Writer
An accomplished writer whose work ranges from radio and television to training videos and conferences, Steve writes all his own material and often tailors scripts and personality speeches to the specific needs of the company.
Lecturer
Steve has been a Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts in the University of Birmingham since 1995. He created, and continues to teach and direct courses in: Stand-up Comedy; The Broadway Musical; Comedy of Manners; Screenplay Writing and Greek Theatre. He also lectures on film.
"The choice of Steve Nallon as the after-dinner speaker was I think inspired and will certainly go down in my book as one of the most memorable ever."
The Insurance Institute
"The evening was fantastic! A great success! Steve was everything you said – a real star and a true professional. From the moment we had spoken I knew I was in good hands."
Laing O’Rourke
"Everyone said how much they enjoyed your after-dinner speech - you were the highlight." Birmingham Civic Society
"The event was definitely a great success, our clients were really pleased with how everything went – they couldn’t stop smiling by the end! I think the fact that we had Steve there made all the difference to the event. Looking round I could see the mood really changed when he came on the stage – he made the awards so much more light-hearted than they would otherwise have been – it was exactly how we wanted the atmosphere to be."
