Spitting Image comedy star to perform show in Swindon

By Tyler Ody

Luke Kempner - star of Spitting Image and Steph’s Packed Lunch - will be performing at Swindon’s Arts Centre this September.

The comedy star, with over 10 million views of his online videos, will be visiting Swindon’s Arts Centre on Friday, 16 September. 

Luke Kempner is described as one of the UK’s hottest mimics and stand-up comics.

A spokesperson for the artist said: “With a hilariously razor sharp roster of contemporary impressions ranging from Piers Morgan and Bojo to Ru Paul, Luke has become a household name and is bringing his highly anticipated brand-new show, Macho Macho Man on the road.

“Don’t miss this remarkable one-man show from one of Britain’s most exciting, new comedy talents.”

Luke says he is a Macho Macho Man. He said he came up with the title whilst listening to his Les Mis album for the 28,000th time.

The comedy performer tries to work out what masculinity really means with the help of Louis Theroux, the cast of Downton Abbey and even Jürgen Klopp.

The comedian’s spokesperson added: “Luke struggles to fit in, between turning up to a dance audition in football boots to falling in love with a “cool guy” that sits in the row in front of him at the football. Will Luke ever become the Macho Macho Man he dreams of?”

Macho Macho Man follows Luke’s previous show House of Faces, which sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and toured nationwide in 2019. As seen (and heard) on Spitting Image (Britbox), Steph’s Packed Lunch (Channel 4), The Last Leg (Channel 4) The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Love Island: Aftersun (ITV2) and The Now Show (BBC Radio 4)
