ITV2 to air end of year show with impressionist Luke Kempner
ITV2 has signed up impressionist Luke Kempner to host an end of year review show.
The Luke Kempner Show will see the comedian look at "the year's most noteworthy events" plus star in "fast-paced sketches that feature the year's biggest celebrities". Additionally, producers say "there will be celebrity guests, music performances and bags of laughter."
Luke Kempner first came to prominence in 2012 via Downstairs At Downton, a YouTube video in which he impersonated various of the characters in TV show Downton Abbey. This lead to The Only Way Is Downton, a one-man theatre and festival show.
Now signed with Chambers Management, the agency that represents the likes of Jimmy Carr and Sarah Millican, Kempner has since impersonated various celebrities - including Russell Brand and Brian Cox - on BBC Three comedy format Murder In Successville.
The Luke Kempner Show will be recorded in front of a live audience at the Tabernacle Theatre in Notting Hill on Wednesday 2nd December 2015. To apply to be in the audience see our free tickets page
