Who is Jim Morris and what’s so funny about him? The New Yorker Magazine called him "the country's leading political impressionist". He's like no other comedian, as he brings the real West Wing to comedic life by caricaturing President Bush and our nation's leaders. During a performance Jim might be joined on stage by as many as seven U.S. Presidents at their funniest, three Hall of Fame news anchors at their crankiest and the show’s cast members including Barak Obama, John McCain, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Phil, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and movie star-former Vice President Al Gore. As the Boston Herald described it, "Jim is a one-man Disney attraction, his own Hall of the Presidents". In Jim's “Presidential Follies” he creates a living political cartoon, rendering his subjects with dead-on accuracy and somehow hilariously capturing all the attitude, optimism and befuddled essence of the nation's leaders. "Long before Bob Woodward gets to writes his next All the President's Men, I've recreated what I imagine is going on behind the scenes at the White House" Jim explained. "It’s my comic vision of the administration, the President and the First Family, away from the cameras where the good stuff goes down, the deals get hatched and the decider decides". Always a highlight is Jim's hilarious, critically acclaimed ad-libbed Presidential News Conference, where he fields questions from audience members standing in for the White House Press Corps. Jim Morris’ presents his act as a proud part of the traditional American custom of satirizing, teasing and roasting our nation's leaders. It’s always fresh, funny, topical and very entertaining. Jim Morris has starred in comedy specials airing on ABC, CBS, Cinemax and HBO, appeared on the Tonight Show, Larry King Live, and Comic Relief, and he provides the voices for "The Ex-President", the critically acclaimed cartoon on Saturday Night Live. Jim Morris has also excelled in several face-to-face encounters with the principal subjects of his humor! Scenes of engagement have included Washington D.C.'s historic Ford's Theater ("A Gala Salute to the President"), the legendary White House Correspondents Dinner, and even...up close and personal inside the Oval Office!
