Direct from London’s West End comes AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON. YouTube sensation, Luke Kempner, creates more than thirty characters in this tour-de-force one-man parody that blends celebrity visitors with well-known characters from the PBS hit television series “Downton Abbey.” Cultures clash and eras hilariously collide to help the cast save the estate from financial ruin – again!

Kempner, called “The Energizer Bunny of impressionists” by The Huffington Post, made his name with the YouTube hit “Downstairs At Downton” and appearances in musicals including Les Misérables and Avenue Q. His debut solo show won critical acclaim and sell-out audiences at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON was produced by James Seabright, the original producer of the worldwide hit Potted Potter. The show was written and performed by Luke Kempner and directed by Owen Lewis.

Reviews

“**** (4 Stars) ‘Remarkable, tour de force one-man show.”

Daily Telegraph

“**** (4 Stars) Kempner’s script is consistently funny… his Downton impersonations
are a deconstructive delight”

Metro

“**** (4 Stars) A tightly written and performed mash-up of the saga with modern TV hits… an affectionate spoof.”
