Luke Kempner brings Gritty Police Drama: A One-Man Musical to Edinburgh Fringe this summer

Luke Kempner is to bring his brand-new show Gritty Police Drama: A One-Man Musical to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.

Currently appearing in Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image The Musical in the West, the comedian, actor and impressionist will play at Pleasance Courtyard – Upstairs from 2 – 28 August 2023.

A teaser of the show shares: “Join the heroes of Line of Duty, Happy Valley and Luther as they set out to solve the most treacherous murder they’ve had on their books yet: that of James Corden.

“It’s Line Of Duty meets Happy Valley meets Clarkson’s Farm, meets Match of the Day meets King Charles meets the Traitors. With around 60 impressions all played by one man…that’s one impression every minute! Whether you’re King Charles, Sir Ian McKellen or even Claudia Winkleman, in GRITTY POLICE DRAMA… no-one is safe.”

For now, Luke is spending his time voicing some 30 puppets including King Charles, Prince Harry, Michael Kane, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Jurgen Klopp to name a few for Spitting Image Live at the West End’s The Phoenix Theatre.

His other theatre credits include Les Miserables, Avenue Q and South Pacific. Luke first garnered global attention in 2012 with his hit viral video Downstairs At Downton which led to his one man show The Only Way Is Downton to theatres and festivals across the UK and USA.
