On the 7th of February, 2025, an event you won't want to miss is happening at The Anvil in Basingstoke: Jon Culshaw's brand new show, "Imposter Syndrome". An evening promising a blend of comedy and music, Culshaw will once again reveal why he is regarded as one of Britain's leading impressionists.
Culshaw's show is set to take audiences on a captivating journey filled with laughs and spot-on impersonations. Best known for his work on BBC Radio 4's "Dead Ringers", BBC One's "The Impressions Show", and Channel 4's "Partygate", Culshaw brings a unique charm and wit to his performances that captivates audiences.
The show is aptly named "Imposter Syndrome", a theme that resonates with the deeply ingrained human fear of being exposed as a fraud. This fear, shared by many across different walks of life, becomes a source of humor and introspection as Culshaw brings a variety of well-known personalities from entertainment, politics, and beyond to life. The title itself suggests a playful nod to the impersonations and the personas he adopts – reminding us that even the most confident-seeming figures might feel like impostors at times.
Performing at a venue like The Anvil, which is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate yet grand atmosphere, only adds to the excitement of the show. Located in the heart of Basingstoke, The Anvil will provide a perfect setting for Culshaw's comedic mastery and musical interludes.
As a man of many voices, Culshaw's repertoire is staggering, featuring over 350 voices and impersonations. From politicians like Boris Johnson and former U.S. President Barack Obama to entertainment figures like Alan Carr and Michael McIntyre, the sheer breadth of characters he embodies is truly impressive1. The eclectic mix of voices and personalities guarantees a diverse and entertaining experience for the audience.
Tickets for "Imposter Syndrome" are available online and start at £31, inclusive of booking fees. The show is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, and it's expected to run for approximately two hours.
