In this episode I have the amazing Anil Desai, we meet a few years back while performing at the same event in London. Since Anil performed his awe-inspiring and record-breaking ‘52 impressions in 5 minutes’ routine in 2009, he has toured in over 30 countries performing on many of the world’s best stages in India, Slovenia, Indonesia, Singapore, Switzerland, South Africa, Montenegro, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Lebanon, Australia and New Zealand to name a few - helping him become one of the best comedian impressionists to emerge from the UK performing on the international circuit. Along the way, his solo shows ‘Stand Up Chameleon’, “Hey, Impressions Guy!”, ‘Night at the Movies’ and ‘Impressions of a Hindude’ have garnered rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne, Sydney & New Zealand international Comedy Festivals, Perth Fringe World, and Bulmer’s International Comedy festival in Ireland. He has also appeared at some of the UK’s biggest music festivals incl. Latitude, Bestival, Splendour Fest, and Chilli Fest since 2010 In recent years he has become a Punchliner Comedy Club regular for Carnival Cruises in Europe, Australia & the Pacific Islands Alongside the comedy career, for the past two decades, Anil continues to work as a professional actor in notable British Film, Television, Radio and Theatre productions. His break into comedy came when he was cast as a regular in BBC2’s multi award winning Goodness Gracious Me series featuring Meera Syal and Sanjeev Basker. In late 2018 he can be seen in ITV’s brand new impressions-based panel show series The Imitation Game alongside Rory Bremner, Alexander Armstrong and Debra Stephenson, and voicing various characters on CBBC’s Animal TV. His corporate and commercial clients incl. Amazon Prime, PWC, Bernardo’s, Ford, Sky Movies, Unilever, Disney, Dixons, and Jaguar amongst numerous others.

So happy to sit down with Anil to chat about his epic journey as an actor, comedian & impressionist. He talks about how he jumped in head first to follow what he loved and against the odds it caused a ripple effect to live the life of his dreams. Make sure you listen out for his "friends". My fav has to be David Attenborough right at the end. What a treat! Anil is also about to release his own podcast so check him out on insta! www.instagram.com/anildesaicomic www.instagram.com/gillianmulholland Music: NylonUK
Who Is Anil Desai: Anil Desai started in comedy with the sketch group The Giant Pineapple Boys, who performed at the Edinburgh festivals from 2001 to 2004. He then went on to host The Late Show Spank! On the fringe and created comedy characters Rajesh: Bollywood Lounge singer and Candice the Fluffer Girl. He is best known as an impressionist and has performed several solo shows in various international festivals to showcase his talents. He is also an actor, having appeared in Goodness Gracious Me, Doctors and The Bill among others. Who is Bruce Lee: Lee Jun-fan, known professionally as Bruce Lee, was a Hong Kong-American actor, director, martial artist, martial arts instructor, and philosopher. Bruce Lee remains the greatest icon of martial arts cinema and a key figure of modern popular media. Had it not been for Bruce Lee and his movies in the early 1970s, it's arguable whether or not the martial arts film genre would have ever penetrated and influenced mainstream North American and European cinema and audiences the way it has over the past four decades.
