fans won’t have to wait to get their next fix thanks to a Tyneside theatre. Following the Christmas special, the
Granthams and co. aren’t expected back on TV screens until autumn but The
Customs House in South Shields has just the
thing. The Mill Dam venue is debuting the latest tour of smash
hit show The Only Way is Downton on Tuesday 20th January.
Following
critically acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a national tour and
a West
End season, Luke Kempner brings his one-man impressions show to
the Mill Dam theatre for one night only.

House executive director Ray Spencer, MBE, said: “Downton is a hugely popular
programme so it’s no surprise that this show has been a huge hit throughout the
county. Any fan of Downton will be laughing in the aisle with Luke’s incredibly
accurate impressions. We’re delighted that Luke is starting his tour at The
Customs House and I’m sure our audiences will love this witty take on this TV
favourite.”
Having
made his name with YouTube hit Downstairs at Downton, and appearances in
musicals including Les Mis and Avenue Q, Luke’s debut solo show won critical
acclaim and sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013. The show, presented by Seabright Productions,
also introduces other popular culture figures.
As
celebrities start appearing at the Abbey, cultures clash and eras hilariously
collide in this brilliant new parody, which takes in many other popular TV
shows and familiar modern voices to help the cast of Downton save the estate
from financial ruin – again!
