Free Exchange: Matt Forde's impressions of politics

The CapX Podcast - A podcast by CapX

Categories:

Our guest this week is Matt Forde - one of Britain's foremost stand-ups, satirists and impressionists. He's a highly successful stage comedian, the voice of Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump on the revamped version of Spitting Image and, as of a few weeks ago the author of a new memoir, Politically Homeless,. It covers his youth in a working class area of Nottingham, teen years of hard left activism and a long, often thankless stint working for the Labour Party - including dressing up as a fluffy chicken to harangue a prominent Lib Dem on the campaign trail.As you'd expect from a comedian, this was great fun to record, but Matt can certainly do the serious stuff too, and his insights on working in a party machine are well worth tuning in for, even if you really tuned in to hear his eerily accurate impressions of Boris and Donald Trump.
