Steve Bridges

Every American boy is told they might grow up to be President of the United States. Steve Bridges never doubted his father's words, but immediately started to mimic them. Bridges entertained his family and friends from a very early age with uncanny, hilarious impressions of anyone within earshot.

When Bridges' family eventually settled in California, he set to work honing his performance skills. As a young man, he obtained extensive acting and voiceover coaching in Los Angeles, even spending time with the notorious Groundlings improvisation troupe. Bridges developed a repertoire of over 200 impressions, including television characters "Barney Fife" and "Homer Simpson," and broadcasters Tom Brokaw, Paul Harvey, and Rush Limbaugh; but it was his chilling embodiment of political leaders Bill Clinton and Al Gore that rapidly established him as a premiere vocal impressionist.

Applying "executive" skills and vision, Bridges gathered a "creative cabinet" in 2002 that has changed the world of comedy. He engaged the Academy Award-winning prosthetic makeup artist Kevin Haney and Evan Davis' Headwriters comedy staff, creating a formula for the perfect President George W. Bush.

The Bridges team recently premiered the long awaited depiction of President Barack Obama, featuring the amazing talent of prosthetic makeup artist Kazu Tsuji. Late-night comedians might struggle to find humor about our new president, but Bridges easily mines brilliant, topical humor as he has over the last eight years. The Bridges team has also developed a new show, The Global Economic Smackdown, featuring Bridges without makeup performing over 40 vocal impressions of world leaders and show-business personalities in a hilarious international town hall.

Whether he's in state-of-the-art prosthetic makeup or just performing sparkling, rapid-fire impressions, Bridges evokes bipartisan laughs that entertain any crowd. Staying above the political fray, he elicits raves from both sides of the aisle. His material is always refreshing, topical, and funny to both right and left, and he is available to do custom performances—either based on a script you provide, or one based on his pre-written, tried-and-true material. Bridges humbly admits that he could never be the real commander-in-chief, but when it comes to American political impressionists, Washington insiders and comedy pollsters have voted him the undisputed "leader of the free world."
