This is not an original response to that claim but the Dictionary of Theatre* defines a character as ‘something that gives the illusion of being a person’, and in that sense I think your description is apt.
*Supposedly, according to Stewart Lee. But even if it doesn’t, as we’re talking about Boris Johnson it’d just add a meta-textual element to the joke.
