An episode detailing Jon Culshaw's journey from a shy schoolboy with mimicry skills to a celebrated impressionist, discussing his love of radio and the emotional intelligence behind his impersonations.
Jon Culshaw was born on June 2, 1968, in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England. His early career began in hospital radio in Ormskirk, leading to his first professional radio job at Red Rose Radio (now Rock FM) in Preston in 1987. Here, he occasionally read the weather in the voice of Frank Bruno, showcasing his early talent for impressions. For approximately four years in the late 1980s, Culshaw was a DJ on commercial radio station Viking FM in Hull, and also hosted a breakfast show on Pennine Radio and Radio Wave in Blackpool. A receptionist at Viking FM encouraged him to pursue impressions as a full-time career. He gained national attention in January 1998 when, working with Steve Penk on Capital Radio, he successfully impersonated William Hague and was put through to then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, engaging him in a conversation despite the prank.
Culshaw became a star of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series “Dead Ringers,” which ran from 2000 to 2007, and its BBC Two television adaptation (2002-2007). The radio series of “Dead Ringers” later returned to BBC Radio 4 in 2014. He voiced numerous characters for ITV shows including “2DTV” (2001), “Spitting Image” (1994-1996), and “Newzoids” (2015-2016). From 2009 to 2011, he co-starred with Debra Stephenson in the BBC One comedy sketch show “The Impressions Show with Culshaw and Stephenson.
His film credits include appearing as Tony Blair in “Churchill: The Hollywood Years” (2004) and voicing Piston Pete in “Agent Crush” (2008), and President Donald Trump in “The Queen’s Corgi” (2019). Culshaw has a prolific career in “Doctor Who” related productions, performing various roles and impressions, including Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor. He also portrays Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and is set to portray the Twelfth Doctor in an upcoming audio drama. Culshaw has been recognised for his contributions with honorary fellowships and doctorates from the University of Central Lancashire (2006), Edge Hill University (2010), and the University of Leicester (2013).
