From George Formby to Tazio Nuvolari: Meet Graeme Hardy's Impersonations

It's me, Mark Stone and in this episode of the Backseat Driver Podcast, I talk to Graeme Hardy about his passion for impersonating living and fictional characters. He discusses his incarnations as George Formby, Tazio Nuvolari, Stan Laurel, and Harold Steptoe, among others.

He reflects on the meticulous research and effort he puts into recreating these characters and the positive impact and recognition his impersonations have brought him, including being featured on gin bottle labels and working with vehicle manufacturers. He shares his plans of expanding his repertoire of characters and continually providing entertainment to audiences.
