The Velvet Onion, 4th June 2016Young impressionist Luke Kempner went viral back in 2012 with his convincing range of impressions of the cast of Downton Abbey in a YouTube clip called Downstairs at Downton - which scored him six-figure viewings. He even turned it into a one-man show called The Only Way Is Downton, taking it to the Edinburgh Fringe and touring it around the US.
