Biography

John Fortune, a distinguished English satirist, comedian, writer, and actor, has made an enduring impact on the entertainment industry, with a significant portion of his legacy stemming from his collaborative endeavors with fellow esteemed individuals, including John Bird and Rory Bremner, on the widely acclaimed and beloved television series, Bremner, Bird and Fortune.

Fortune's educational trajectory was characterized by his enrollment at Bristol Cathedral School, a renowned institution that laid the groundwork for his future academic and professional endeavors. This esteemed establishment, known for its rigorous curriculum and academic excellence, played a pivotal role in shaping his intellectual and personal development.

After completing his studies at Bristol Cathedral School, Fortune went on to attend King's College, Cambridge, where he had the opportunity to intersect with John Bird, a serendipitous encounter that would ultimately evolve into a lifelong friendship. This chance meeting, which seemed almost predestined, marked the beginning of a profound and enduring bond between the two individuals.
