Sympathy For Lady Vengeance
Another in my increasingly frequent (yet occasional and very selective) pieces on British Comedy shows and personalities.
This one is Graham Fellows (aka ‘Jilted John’ - pop star of days gone by) as his alter-ego John Shuttleworth. Remember, British Comedy is about the British Personality in all its’ guises. Oddballs a plenty to be found here in this small island the size of some pratically unpopulated American states.
John is a northern entertainer, keyboard player, story teller, and generally very nice (but very strange) chap who lets you into his life in an almost ‘video diary’ manner in this particular show. I seem to remember there was one series before this, but John mostly releases CDs, so you can tell it’s very musically based. And yes, it’s one of hundreds of comedy shows from Britain over the years, and one of the most memorable but relavitvely little-seen from back in 1997.
For more on John, you can visit his official site and download a whole heap of MP3 files and more. There’s photos and lots of general background information too. Again, I wouldn’t be pointing out this if it wasn’t highly recommended. Superb.
