An enjoyable show in which impressive impressions and amusing gags provide Kempner with a promising future. He's as good as his predecessors; the likes of McGowan or Bremner.
A wonderfully funny London marathon scene involving Prince Harry and Liam Gallagher along with a "Hamilton" show-stealing ending were worth the entrance fee alone. However, as much as I enjoyed these gags, they are not quite enough to lift this show's status to anything more than good.
Most impressions are spot on; his Iain Stirling and Sir David Attenborough were personal highlights. However, one or two are a bit off the mark. Although he captures their mannerisms, for me, his Graham Norton and maybe even his Brian Cox weren't quite good enough.
Despite these minor flaws, this show was an enjoyable experience from a very talented performer who I'll be sure to look out for in the future.
