A comedy tour is bringing 25 years of satire and impressions to the stage.
Dead Ringers Live is marking its silver anniversary with a full UK tour, stopping at Brighton Dome on Thursday, September 18.
Tickets for Dead Ringers Live at Brighton Dome are available from fieryentertainment.com.
The show will feature cast members Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis MacLeod and Duncan Wisbey, who will perform classic sketches and cutting-edge political and cultural satire in tribute to the late Bill Dare, the show's creator and producer who died in March.
Mr Dare was also the creative force behind other iconic BBC comedy series, including The Now Show, Spitting Image, and The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Dead Ringers, known for its sharp political and cultural satire delivered through impressions, is part of BBC Radio 4’s Friday Night Comedy.
The live tour promises to bring the same "wit, mischief and the sharpest impressions in the business" to audiences across the country.
Jan Ravens is a familiar voice on Radio 4, regularly appearing on Just A Minute, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, and The Week in Westminster, as well as in numerous dramas and comedies.
Her theatre credits include seasons at Chichester Festival Theatre, Manchester Royal Exchange and the RSC, while on television she has appeared in Hebburn, Skins and Midsomer Murders.
