Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.

Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!

I currently run a number of series including:
Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches

I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series

After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on Youtube videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time Youtuber’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.

While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.

Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.

Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of YouTube, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.

His top impressions include:

Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf – Lord of the Rings)
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman – Breaking Bad)
Alan Rickman (Snape – Harry Potter)
Michael Caine (Alfred – Batman)
Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi – Star Wars)
Agent Smith (The Matrix)
Sean Bean (Boromir – Lord of the Rings)
Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield – The Hobbit)
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister – Game of Thrones)

Good work Charlie, this is gold

"I made quite sure to mumble the last bit" 😆😆😆 Loved that bit.

Chiellini being the armoured troll, as an Italian I can only approve of that

[AlisonBryen]

Let's be honest, Gandalf in a full England kit is the image we all needed this afternoon!

#itscominghrome

[Olip]

Billy Boyd being Scottish... "why am i here Gandalf?"

[callumpettitt]

"I sorta went...I went, it's coming h-rome" lmao

[travelmaltaculture]

Malta is divided on this, half supports England and half Italy.. Good video

[undead]

Chiellini as the armored troll is the image I didn't know I needed in my life. But boy did I need it.

[Guyflyer]

"I went... It's coming hrome". Honestly crying at that bit 🤣🤣🤣

[cakeules]

You're amazing! For a moment there I honestly thought it was Ian McKellen and Billy Boyd talking.

[kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

“I had work that day” nothing stops cracking me up!

[Porcelanix]

'I made quite sure to mumble the last bit' brilliant

[Bob-wnck]

This scene is always funny whatever they say

[andystrachan]

"Many that won trophies don't deserve them, some that didn't deserve to. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out yellow and red cards. Even VAR cannot see all ends."

[mondayworship]

Quality…I hadn’t realised it was one of your videos until I was like…. that’s a really good Gandalf impression, must be Charlie! 😉 More of this kind of content please, amused me greatly 😂👍

[probitionate]

From across the pond, I salute you. (And as the scion of British parents, I cross my fingers for you all.)

[howardmoon]

This is the level of self deprecation we need

[anibro]

Frodo: 'The ring made me say its coming home, I didnt'

[VoiceofTallis]

"There never was much hope....just an English fan's hope" Gandalf, speaking from thousands of years of hurt.

(Also I want to see Aragorn whispering "it's coming home" before he charges right into the hordes of Europe...um...I mean hordes of Sauron.)
