Alistair Charles McGowan (born 24 November 1964) is an English impressionist, comic, actor, singer and writer best known to British audiences for ''The Big Impression'' (formerly ''Alistair McGowan's Big Impression''), which was, for four years, one of BBC1's top-rating comedy programmes – winning numerous awards, including a BAFTA in 2003. He has also worked extensively in theatre and appeared in the West End in ''Art'', ''Cabaret'', ''The Mikado'' and ''Little Shop of Horrors'' (for which he received a ''Laurence Olivier Award'' nomination). As a television actor, he played the lead role in BBC1's ''Mayo''. He wrote the play ''Timing'' (nominated as Best New Comedy at the whatsonstage.com awards) and the book ''A Matter of Life and Death'' or ''How to Wean Your Man off Football'' with former comedy partner Ronni Ancona. He also provided voices for ''Spitting Image''. He made his début broadcast as a tennis commentator for BBC Sport at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. In 2012, McGowan wrote and hosted the ITV comedy sports show ''You Cannot Be Serious'', in which his impressions included Roy Hodgson, Jedward and Louie Spence. ==Early life and education== McGowan was born in Evesham, Worcestershire to Marion and George McGowan. Although they knew that their father had been born in Calcutta, India, Alistair and his sister Kay were unaware that their father had an ethnically Anglo-Indian background until McGowan explored his ancestry on BBC One's ''Who Do You Think You Are?'' programme in an episode broadcast on 26 October 2007, four years after his father's death. McGowan attended the Simon de Montfort Middle School in Evesham, where he took lead roles in school productions, and went on to Evesham High School. He graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA English degree in 1986. He then went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, graduating in 1989. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alistair McGowan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
