New York based comedian Benito Skinner has built a huge following with his hilarious impersonations, music videos and original caricatures - but perhaps none more-so than his recent take on Queer Eye's culinary expert Antoni Porowski.
In one of his latest videos, which now has over 350,000 views, Skinner flawlessly embodies Prowoski at a fresh food market “in this gorgeous town of Seattle."
"I absolutely j’adore it,” he says to camera, before leading viewers on a tour.
“Sometimes when they [store-holders] ask my name, I say Tan," he laughs. "It’s so precocious!”
Speaking to the owner of a florist, Skinner-as-Prowoski asks: “Are these flowers from the gardens of Kanazawa, Japan?”
Observing a display of chilli paste jars, he tells viewers: “They’re spicy and perfect, just as you are.”
He then signs off with a twirl: “Je m’appelle Antoni, and je t’aime Seattle!”
Having impersonated the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Lana Del Rey and the cast of Gossip Girl, Skinner is a comedian on the rise, selling out tour dates across the United States.
“Laughing has always been my way of feeling a little better about things,” Skinner told SBS Sexuality .
He added: “When I was in college and I was feeling anxious or depressed, I’d turn to comedy online to make me feel better.”
