A legendary comedian and impressionist is coming to Congleton.

Rory Bremner, best known for his impersonations of political figures such as Donald Trump and Tony Blair, will take to the stage at Clonter Opera Theatre.

He is giving his time free of charge to help raise money for Macclesfield Ukrainian Aid.

Organiser Nicola Regan said: " I am so excited that that such an outstanding and well-known performer has agreed to help us in our unrelenting work to help ease the pain and suffering of the civilian population of Ukraine. 

"This is a one- off opportunity for local people to hear and enjoy an evening with such a great entertainer and, at the same time, make a very real difference to the lives of a suffering nation in Ukraine. "
