Debra Stephenson is an AMAZING impressionist

Debra stephenson is without a doubt the best celebrity impersonator on the box!

Her Davina McCall is outstanding, but then so is her Lorraine Kelly and Also her Katie price!

Davina cracks me up:D

grahamcrowden · 07/12/10 - 20:44

Her Anne Robinson is also spot on.

Most impressionists , even Culshaw and Yarwood are able to mimic the mannerisms of the subject aswell as the style of the voice but to get the voice so spot on as to think you are hearing the genuine person is rare but DS manages with Robinson , McCall and several more.

The fact that she's super horny too is a bonus.

An amazing actress too. I've been watching the repeats of Bad Girls and realised how bad the drama got after 'Shell Dockley' escaped. I also found her funny as chav 'Debbo' on Friday Night Project.

j4Rose · 07/12/10 - 21:04

I think she also seems like a genuinely nice person. I'm glad she's doing well

lulu g · 07/12/10 - 21:04

Really? I don't think her impressions are very good at all, apart from Davina maybe.

Georged123 · 07/12/10 - 21:10

Some are not as good but generally they are excellent. The four the OP mentions are fantastic.

LolaSvelt · 07/12/10 - 22:49

I liked her Fearne Cotton impression.

grahamcrowden · 07/12/10 - 22:53

Her Katie Price is great but Culshaw as Graham Norton on the same sketch is one of his worst.

The Lorraine Kelly one is so spot on it's spooky

TheWayItIs · 07/12/10 - 23:20

One of her best ones, not shown in the series, is that of Miss Cilllaaaaaaa Black.
It is, in my opinion, on a par with the Anne Robinson for unnerring accuracy.

I think the only one she's got spot on is Pat Butcher. I could tell the others apart if I had to.

She is really good, I always laugh at her sketches, but Jon Culshaw is seriously embarrassing to watch. He hardly ever looks like the person he's impersonating, we always have to be told and the sketches are never funny. The worst one is his harry hill, sounds nothing like him.

I would like to see Debra get her own show tbh, maybe get some fresh talent on the show too!

Yes, Jon is seriously bad

I think he's better than her.

When she dresses up as Tess then wow she looks amazing. Debra is a very hot women who you would do over and over again! :cool:

SuperAPJ · 08/12/10 - 03:16

Debra's impersonations of Anne Robinson and Davina McCall are spot-on. I have to disagree with some others mentioned though. I can hear Debra in the Lorraine Kelly impression and her Katie Price is not a lot different from how she normally talks.

I remember her doing that in Bad Girls. It was brilliant!

Sharon87 · 08/12/10 - 07:31

I'm amazed at her Anne Robinson voice, sounds exactly like her!

She is a really good impressionist. I also loved her in Bad Girls, she's a pretty amazing actress

[Deleted User] · 08/12/10 - 08:02

She is ok, but as for Culshaw he is just pathetically unfunny and a dreadful impressionist.

This is what I think. She's definitely not exactly like them. But then again, I'm a perfectionist.

I agree with that, lot's of his impressions sound the same.

As for his Bruno off dancing, dear me. His Derren Brown didn't sound much like him to me either. DS is quite good though.

Personally I think these shows are a bit old hat these days.

Took me ages to work out this was who JC was supposed to be impersonating.

xmel05 · 08/12/10 - 09:26

I think she is very good for her age.

[Deleted User] · 08/12/10 - 09:33

She is excellent - I remember years ago she did a little spot on John Shuttleworth's Radio 1 show, a little skit in which she impersonated Julie Walters and Victoria Wood - she finished with a little song in a Wood stylee. I am that sad I can still remember how it went:

Please eat me chocolate brownie
I'm not just being kind
The chocolate's gone a bit cloudy
And the brownie's so old it's become a girl guide
Mister I've told thee
To please eat me chocolate brownie
If you don't I'll flippin' well crown thee
and ledge it up your behind...

*coughs*

Anyway. Back on planet earth. She is superb, that VW/JW moment always impressed me.

lundavra · 08/12/10 - 09:55

She is good but not convinced she is any better than Ronni Ancona.

The trouble with the programme is that most of the effort seems to go into costume, make-up, sets but the scripts are an afterthought. Perhaps the advantage of radio where that is not needed.

I dunno about that. His 4th doctor, General Maximus (husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered child...so I called Claims Direct), Captain Jack Harkness (Wer'e Torchwood, these are my shiny teeth), Obi Wan Kenobi (passage to Aldershot) and Brian Sewell (doing that reggae/hip hop song in a working men's club) and of course his Ozzy Osbourne are outstanding.

[Deleted User] · 08/12/10 - 10:51

I love the Davina sketches - and also the ones where she does Claudia with Davina too.

I think Jordan is spot on - as is Anne Robinson obviously.

I used to love Ronnie Ancona and Alistair McGowan - don't see them on TV so much these days, I assume they are both doing different things - acting, etc?

Hey there!
