Jan Ravens totally smashes a Theresa May impression!

Star of BBC Dead Ringers, Jan Ravens totally nails a painfully accurate Theresa May impression Edinburgh 2017 tickets onsale now - gildedballoon.c... c/o www.colekitchenn.com

[@FreeTheDonbas]

Wow, she even cracks her voice the same way.

[@lemsip207]

May's voice is cracking all the time now and she walks with a stooped figure often quivering as well. Imagine if she spoke at a rally on a common in a marginal constituency like Jeremy Corbyn did a few weeks ago.

[@accountname760]

hehe!

[@peterward2275]

Knight Chime disagree. she perhaps managed it once or twice but nowhere near as much as May exhibits it

[@brogs60]

Good un.

[@dianahemmingsdh]

John Moffat be nice

[@BossySwan]

Her facial expressions at the start crack me up!

[@luigivonleonhardt2923]

ahah yes! me too!

[@goofy_gamerl5861]

[@markdp1983]

She's funny!

[@jemima885ify]

"But I'm not going to go on the list all of the achievements of the previous Tory government, I want to go on to talk about grammar schools" 😂😂😂

[@youngian]

"as the Chuckle Brothers were busy."

[@jakemoreton810]

Ian Young that's without a doubt the best line of the video 😂

[@ac1dP1nk]

powerful chuckle brothers would definitely shoot some bankers

[@crimsonbride]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hannahdyson5603]

I think you have the wrong chuckle brothers .

[@nonconformalism]

And don't forget the hobnob sweetheart.

[@rowanbawden7783]

Hahahha

[@rowanbawden7783]

Lmao

[@wfcyellow]

This truly is a great impression

[@kalos9552]

[@trollop_7]

Good impersonation. Lousy material.

[@DavidJones-mo9jc]

whyaremeninmyshoes We call that 'comedy'.

[@alelooooooya]

whyaremeninmyshoes @Quentin exactly

[@lemsip207]

They are what she really means though but disguises as rhetoric.

[@L0LWTF1337]

"...But I am not going to list ALL of the achievements of the previous tory government..." lmao

[@JazzyJ96771]

This is BRILLIANT! So accurate to our prime minister. 😂😂😂😂

[@BGCW_86]

Nailed it Jan - hilariously accurate impression! Team it with Tracey Ullman's Angela Merkel - I would enjoy seeing the two of you in a sketch!

[@barbarakirk1451]

I can see them doing Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer's Enough Is Enough after May said that in a speech!

[@jamesrobtonyadams3345]

Most impressions on youtube aren't that great, but this one is so so accurate - it's got her mannerisms, acccent and intonations down to a tee. Excellent caricature

[@jane9875]

just missing the chunky necklace otherwise brilliant

[@Strangething90]

and the messy hair

[@celiasmith8662]

Strangething90 more like the straw hair

[@jodiehiggs2135]

j pugh and big eye bags 😂

[@sicooke868]

She's got it I don't know how but got it.

[@Rogerthatx10]

"People's who's houses are worth less than half a million pounds" Such hardship! 😂😃😁

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

I hope Philip enjoyed his Hob Nob.

[@redroselace9545]

Clarissa McPigeon I believe he thoroughly did.

[@omarh5558]

Indeed, the man enjoyed them so much they took away all of his remaining teeth. He didn't feel a thing. Now he wears a gum shield. xD

[@alexajessop4803]

Love her. Imitation is the sincerest for of flattery. This lady pulls Madam May off so well. Great job!

[@Javlon007]

"It's because grammar schools gave us Jeremy Corbyn" What a punchline!

[@evan]

splendid

A wild Evan has been found

[@jakelownds8878]

How has he only got 41 likes

[@AnEnemy100]

Doesn't quite work because Jan's humanity is showing. Get some animatronics inside a mummy from the British Museum then put some slap on it and you might get a bit closer to it.

[@69Phuket]

Yeah Slap....Jan's got too much tickle.

[@cordeea7880]

Expert impression

[@ymest269daniel9]

I can't get enough of this. Truly AMAZING! So alike. Well done.

[@noaharazi1329]

A very "strong and stable" impression!!!

[@bobdownes162]

A Nephew of mine from Plymouth (England) was told he wouldn't be allowed to go to a Grammar school because he lived in a poor area of the City (Swilly) The boy insisted that he wished to go to the school and with the help of his mother, by some miracle achieved their aim.

[@aon10003]

She said good morning, and i started laughing.

[@MrPianoMan]

omg this is truly art! it's so accurate it's creepy, especially if you close your eyes.

[@dalemcilwain]

She should be on a special guest spot on SNL. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@buckrogers5331]

Bloody good! Her last line "Asymmetrical neckline..." just kills it. LMAO

[@strellmar8460]

amazing! amazing impression! :) :)

[@mancklin]

Listening to her tonight on Dead Ringers. (16/6/17) Absolutely amazing impression. How does she do that? Genius!

[@andrewmcgarrigle7615]

She nails this 😂🙌🏻👏🏻

[@mittfh]

"I have left David Davies and Boris Johnson in charge, as the Chuckle Brothers were busy." :D

[@kenpudsey6435]

Jan has been around for a while now and she's always been funny,and this was no exception.Superb!

[@josephthomasjr.6551]

This woman is amazing! Hugely talented. She even has the Prime Minister's mannerisms down solidly. Jan Ravens, you ROCK!!!

[@lizsa3145]

Such a difficult impression and she is absolutely brilliant at her

[@thesurgeon6473]

"As the Chuckle Brothers were busy" hahaha

[@Robbscarey]

this is why the UK needs a Saturday night live equivalent

[@stevefreary7449]

And Yet One Of The Chuckle Brothers Doing Her Job Now ! Brill Impression !!

[@sandeepradhakrishnan6815]

😆😆😆😆 Oh my Golly Lord !!!! Those lip movements were so fantabulous 😆😆😆😆

[@jamesewins7344]

".... as the Chuckle Brothers were busy". Hahaha LMAO!

[@stfitness]

This is brilliant. I think Theresa May tries too hard - tries to be Margaret Thatcher.

[@Brynwyn123]

stfitness She's not intelligent or cunning enough to be like Thatcher, but she sure makes up for it with sheer evil. Thats not a word i use lightly.

[@stfitness]

Al Funcoot Agree on your first part re the intelligence. Don't know if evil is the word, she's blinkered and is not a people person. Devoid of emotion and compassion. Terrible leader.

[@fallonkellichan2335]

stfitness no I'd say evil isn't a strong enough word for any stupid Tory voter or Tory politician.

[@stfitness]

Fallon Kellichan Hmmm, we all have our beliefs. I'm a staunch Tory voter and a member of the Party and I wouldn't consider myself evil or stupid. I despise the Labour Party, but each to their own. I respect people's views and wouldn't knock people for voting them. I'm a bit puzzled as to why Corbyn's treating it as a victory. It's a decent result for Labour, I'll give him that - but he still lost - quite heavily too.

[@davmax7751]

@stfitness Don't be silly. Corbyn defied all the pundits who. predicted a massacre for the Labour Party. Theresa May lost a small but rock solid overall majority and now has to rely on the support of 10 DUP regressives, and fate alone knows what she's going to have to bribe them with. DUP - The party of the "Reverend" Ian Paisley. "CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

[@ThomasHarding1990]

"But I'm not going to go on to list all the achievements of the previous tory government" LOL!

[@nellfabian9056]

This was so accurate I'm actually in awe

[@sbomorse]

Superb! She's always been such a great impressionist!

[@FrankNFurter1000]

"Asymmetric neckline; bad blow-dry; tense mouth."

[@gooner9038]

This is the greatest thing I will see today.

[@edwardbaran9326]

the ways she says "state school" is spot on !

[@joespiby6132]

That might be the best impression of anyone that I've ever seen 😂

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

It's a pretty good impression of May.

[@Polemicist0]

Jan Ravens impersonation of Theresa May is both so incredibly good and accurate that everytime I hear her on Dead Ringers, (BBC Radio 4) I truly believe that I am actually listening to the real Prime Minister.

[@paianis]

All this needed was the sound of traffic/sirens/footsteps in the background.

[@DRAINPIPE57]

Brilliant impression of Mrs May Deadringers Radio 4 fridays june july

[@scampthelazycat9891]

absolutely spot on !!

[@GH0-ST]

How have I not seen this until now

[@A.Green55]

"and don't forget the hobnobs sweetheart" 😂😂

[@craigdoran6811]

Got to say that is pretty damn good

[@englishadel3308]

Hhhh so funny as a teacher of phonetics I used to use May's speeches and I can tell you that her voice is so similar to her lol

[@ObeyjusticeChiguta18]

"It's because grammar schools gave us Jeremy Corbin" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@79vinylmixer]

a perfect impression! amazing!!!

[@shanearkwright3643]

'Dont forget the hobnob sweetheart'

[@joshualuke7003]

Not enough chainz.

[@RoyGibson]

Stunning impression

[@WinrichNaujoks]

Who is she? Where did she come from all of a sudden? She deserves every prize out there! In fact, she should be Prime Minister!

[@musspuss]

INTERNET BOTS AIN'T HAVING ANY SUCCESS. WE ARE ON TO YOU

[@truckertom3323]

Well i never! that has got to be the best impression of the Prime Minister i have ever heard.

[@mikehudson8884]

Jan Ravens was always brilliant. Good to see her again.

[@Keisha7612]

This is bang on so good 😂

[@jay_ta708]

This is Incredible xDDD. Best impresssion yet.

[@kenhill3618]

best voice and script for may i have seen

[@Snakesborough]

Jan Ravens is great (I love it that she has the same first name as my father) and Theresa May is great too. God save the Queen! Best wishes from the Netherlands!

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Excellent impersonation! You forgot the beaded necklace and jacket that are typical of her dress code. Love all the political impersonations it's clear you really study your characters very well! Fantastic work.

[@chrisbacos]

I am an American and this is very funny. It reminds me of Ron and Nancy. Good job.

[@nayyh5120]

facial expressions and the cracks in her voice hahaha

[@stevegandalf4739]

Why hasn't Jan Ravens been on TV every day during this election campaign? Absolutely brilliant!

[@maishamohiuddin297]

She got me at "Good morning"

[@mancnq1]

She doesn't change her mind enough to be totally convincing as May

[@GilliánCristóbal]

hahaha i cant stop laughing....its a very Good Impersonation😊😊😊

[@zwitterelf]

You got her yap-trumpeting perfect

[@joshuanesbit]

very good

[@Metaphist]

Lots of conservative cats in the comments section. Meow meow!

[@Metaphist]

Sorry, I'm too busy plotting my takeover of the means of production to think of something witty in reply. You may have a provisional [witty comment placeholder] in the meantime.

[@edmund184]

Tom Coffin well I'm UKIP and I'd like to say shame on you if you gives this woman a massive mandate in June, to go on destroying our society and culture, to take advantage of the referendum she didn't want and gain seats for exploiting Labour's poor ratings. May has called this election to consolidate her power. If Andy Burnham were Labour leader there would be no election. So in terms of democracy do you really want to vote Tory this particular time?

[@finnpeters7867]

A Cat Fuck conservatives

[@Metaphist]

Come on Mike, that's a cheap pun. I bet he's *never* heard that before. If you want to truly debase this morbidly named troll with the proper panache, you should put a lid on his issue, and really nail the point home. I, however, believe this should all be swiftly buried, before the plot thickens.

[@Metaphist]

I wholeheartedly endorse this very good piece of advice. Especially if the conservative in question is attractive, and they have gone to the trouble of casting a rose petal trail into the bedroom. Extra points for aromatic candles.

[@joe88875]

Thats so accurate! Very good 👍

[@4revgreen]

I'm fucking dying here oh my god this is just so accurate

[@danfrost3043]

She's even got the voice for it.

[@MrMischiefter]

Hahaha, "global ghost of Christmas future". That's got to go down as Britain's official epitaph.

[@bb-ballistics1706]

We asked borris Johnson because the chuckle brothers were busy 😂

[@thesubhumancomedy]

I'm looking for a new bed. This helped me. Thank you!

[@knowthings489]

She is absolutely spot on

[@Wogelin1]

Brillian, brilliant, brilliant - not all is lost, carry on Britain

[@mobiustrip1400]

Great voice impression. Sounds the same as my washing machine.

[@stephenborsbey4350]

she has nailed it. spot on LOL.

[@TheKRU251]

Jan is brilliant. Really nailed the TM character!!!

[@Sebtastical]

'a global ghost of Christmas future! BRILLIANT

[@user-yn1eb6ug5i]

Surely Rebecca Front should be doing this too, she's her doppelbanger.

[@sophieallan695]

This is amazing

[@MrMsa973]

Freakishly accurate impression.

[@spoabysplayz7481]

forgot i wasn't watching the real may for a second

[@Amber90125]

oh my this is great impersonation of Theresa May

[@helixroad4357]

excellent impression and scarily true commentary...

[@0Cindrum0]

The amount of time that goes into such an impression is actually sad. But I fully respect it.

[@subroy7123]

"Jeremy Corbyn, the man who, when it comes to selection, will mean that the electorate always choose me." Oops. Brilliant sketch, btw. :D

[@LEYENDAFLACA]

OMG HILARIOUS!!!😂😂😂😂😂so like her😂😂👍🏻

[@junkmail6206]

That was just so good.
