Impressionist Tracey Ullman dons grey beard to become Jeremy Corbyn
Comedy star says Labour leader will surely be delighted to see himself portrayed in Tracey Breaks the News
She’s played an uptight Theresa May, a sultry Angela Merkel and once danced with Neil Kinnock in a music video. Now it is Jeremy Corbyn’s inevitable turn to get the Tracey Ullman treatment – and the likeness is uncanny.
For her new BBC series, the comedian renowned for her impressions will don a beige jacket, a red tie and some grey facial hair to morph into a Corbyn doppelganger.
Ullman will play the Labour leader in the topical sketch show Tracey Breaks the News. In the programme’s pilot edition after the general election in June, the comedian portrayed a paranoia-ridden May, while her version of Merkel lusted after the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
