Renowned English Impressionist And Comedian Mike Yarwood Passes Away At 82

The world of comedy and entertainment is mourning the loss of Mike Yarwood OBE, a beloved English impressionist, comedian, and actor. Yarwood, whose career spanned several decades, was known for his exceptional talent and the wide array of personalities he impersonated on British television.

Born on June 14, 1941, in Bredbury, Cheshire, Michael Edward Yarwood had a humble beginning. After completing his education at a secondary modern school, he initially worked as a messenger and later as a salesman at a garment warehouse. Although he had a childhood interest in football, he did not pursue a professional sports career. In his later years, he even became a director of the Stockport County football club.
