Are there any Leonard Cohen impersonators?

Post by FOXWOOD »

I have heard that there are a number of people who make a living by impersonating somebody called Elvis.

Has Leonard got any impersonators, Tribute acts or lookalikes?

You mean that you've never heard of Leonard Clone? Neither have I, and pray God that it never happens!

Well actually there was a danish coverband called "the Cohen Clones".
And I myself do cohen covers in two duos, one called "The Beautiful
Losers" and one called "Brothers of Mercy"

We also had a band called "The Leonard Cohen Event", and one called "The great Event"

Arthur Smith, British comedian,(very deadpan) did a show a few years back, I think it was called something like 'An evening with Leonard Cohen'. He performed in the West End for about 2 weeks. He sang Leonard's songs and told jokes in between, it was a brilliant show. He sounded quite good especially for someone who is a comedian and not a singer. Back then I thought it was as near as I would get to the real thing, little did I know....
