celebrity impersonation
Acting like stars
Celebrity impersonation is the act of mimicking a famous person's appearance, voice, or mannerisms for entertainment.
Impersonators work in comedy clubs, Las Vegas shows, and tribute acts, channeling everyone from Elvis to politicians.
The practice ranges from affectionate homage to biting satire: Her celebrity impersonation of the president killed at the party.
Skilled impersonators capture not just surface traits but the essence of their subjects.
