THE VOICE We talk funny voices with impressionist, actor and comic Alistair McGowan as he heads to town with his new partner in comedy, Jasper Carrott

What did you want to do when you were younger? To be a professional footballer, of course! I wasn’t good enough, so I went to drama school, where it became apparent there were lots of very good actors, so I got interested in stand-up.

What’s best, stage or stand-up? This summer I played Jimmy Savile [in the play An Audience with Jimmy Savile] and it went so well I thought I’d never want to do stand-up again. Then I remembered the thrill of making people laugh, so here I am.

What about the voices? Sometimes the voices become part of the stand-up. I exaggerate some for comedic effect. When I do Dara O’Brien [cue indecipherable stuttering] I make it much more, ahhh, like something you can’t really, ever, ehhhh, like hear.

Who do you like impersonating? Footballers, because I like football. I’m working on Steve McClaren before the Newcastle show - assuming he’s still in the job. I’ll also be putting Alan Shearer back into the act - he’s an absolute joy. I’ve got a lot of football people in the act so I have to rotate them. I’m a bit like Claudio Ranieri - always taking people in and out of my squad.

Is there anyone you can’t do? Jeremy Clarkson, because I can’t bear listening to him. I used to find Harry Redknapp really hard, but then it clicked; it’s not just a London accent, you can hear disgust with the modern world, once you’ve got that it comes into life.

What’s the link with Jasper Carrot? We’re quite compatible and we have a similar audience. We don’t do anything together during the evening, but the tone is similar.

What do you prefer: TV or performing live? Live is best - no one can edit you and leave out the best bits, Delivered by which is nice Shop late ’til 8pm Mon-Fri and 7pm Sat in Newcastle.
