John Shuttleworth review - a novelty deficit

With his provincial patter dragging and his songs light on laughs, it feels like Graham Fellows' long-running comic persona needs a rest.

Five things you might not know about John Shuttleworth

Review: John Shuttleworth, Nottingham Playhouse

From Shopkeepers in the North ("When you've had a good chin-wag / They'll pop your provisions in your bag) to Eggs and Gammon (Poor Rhiannon / Ken's got wind) and the sublime I Can't go Back To Savoury Now (That Shepherd's pie was stunning / But I'm half way through me pudding), every time he sits down to play, the audience knows they in for a treat.

Review: John Shuttleworth

This tour's title A Wee Ken To Remember, is based on yet another poster misprint that his hapless manager and next-door-neighbour Ken Worthington apparently failed to notice. Of course the limited horizons of Graham Fellows's alter-ego is the joke.

Review: John Shuttleworth: A Wee Ken To Remember

Performing onstage for over 25 years and having a large presence on Radio 4 has earned him a loyal fanbase and a sold out 500 seat Lowry theatre hang on every twang of his Sheffield accent.

This year marks John Shuttleworth's 30th year in the comedy/music business.

The Irish News, 15th January 2015

Review: John Shuttleworth and Dylan Moran

Graham Fellows feels his retro comedy character cannot go on forever.

Dylan Moran is lyrical, poetic yet fearlessly frank too on religion, politics, parenthood, middle-age spread, and irritating young men, whether spouting their mystical language in mobile phone shops or the coffee house attendant with the "Edwardian cricketers' beard" lecturing him on beans.

An evening to remember: John Shuttleworth

John's got songs detailing the 'nightmare scenario' of having two tubs of margarine on the go at the same time.
