Rory Bremner

Over many years, Rory’s contribution to the festival has been immense. Using his amazing powers of persuasion and his impeccable contacts, he has persuaded dozens of well-known folks to come to Melrose in the summer: John Cleese, David Frost, Victoria Wood, Michal Parkinson and many more. But these miracles are not his main contribution. Rory’s gifts as an entertainer and his warmth as a man are what underpin everything. Audiences have rocked the marquees with laughter every year as his razor-sharp observations have translated into matchless wit and bravura humour. Rory is simply the best.
