Writing song lyrics into his 'Harry Potter themed moleskin' notebook whilst sipping a coffee and running around the city, Benny pretty much nails the Canadian singer's voice and trademark floppy hair look, complete with black skinny jeans an artsy scarf and Chelsea boots.

Hilarious phrases from the skit include, "Do you want to borrow my scarf?", "Taylor [Swift] is absolutely a sweetheart", "I'm a Ravenclaw", but you kind of need to watch it to get the full effect.

Fans flooded his account praising the video, writing 'SCREAMING' and 'Oh my god' in reaction, with Perez Hilton writing: "Someone call 911! I’m gagging!!! *screams in gay*."

Another said, "And this here is why Benny drama will forever be my favo[u]rite person ever."

Benny, a comedian from New York, has amassed an enormous online following for his hugely relatable videos about 'girls who brunch' and most famously, the Kardashians, often portraying Kris Jenner with a pair of devil-clawed gloves.

He's gained almost a million Instagram followers and his YouTube videos get hundreds of thousands of views, including his parody Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailers which are just beyond hilarious.
