John Shuttleworth
"In 2009 I was living in London and I had a small electric car, popular with eco-minded city commuters at the time, and known as a G Wizz. With a top speed of 25 mph and a range of 30 miles, I suddenly thought how amusing it would be to film a 750 mile trip in a G Wizz, from London up to the Orkney Isles, where I had recently bought a derelict church.
Filmmaker and Comedian Graham Fellows has followed his two previous indie features, It’s Nice Up North and Southern Softies, with his most personal film yet. FATHER EARTH is the touchingly quirky true story of one man’s efforts to save his world, whilst attempting to save the planet.
A John Shuttleworth gig in a cave had to be stopped after a man ended up dangling from a ledge above it.
The show, part of Shuttleworth's current Back Again tour, was at Peak Cavern, known as the "Devil's Arse", in Castleton on Thursday.
"Sheffield's funniest man" (The Independent) John Shuttleworth is "back" - after an enforced period of time at home! The versatile singer/organist and verbal rambler extraordinaire will be taking to the stage once again in 2022.
"Sheffield's funniest man" (The Independent) John Shuttleworth is "back" on stage where he belongs, and this time with no bad back! Furloughed by agent Ken Worthington for 80% of his petrol money, John used his lockdown wisely - to recuperate from his spinal ailments, and retrieve an old organ from his loft.
Due the Brexit news the schedule for this has changed. Part 1 of ‘Excuse Me, Are You John Shuttleworth?’ has been moved to Christmas Day at 6.15pm. Part 2 will now air on Monday 28th December at 6.15pm. "Slightly annoying," tweeted Graham Fellows.
John Shuttleworth's back. In every sense. This is the title of his current tour and it also refers to his latterday lumber problems that have been giving him a right bit of pain. It also, handily, refers to the fact that after looking for a while like he was settling into cosy old age and coasting a little this tour marks a Trebor Mint-strong return to form. Oof!
Versatile singer/organist John Shuttleworth - “The Godfather of character comedy” (Evening Standard) - will be taking to the stage once again in 2020 for a fifty plus date UK tour - his first in three years.
Hence the title - ‘John Shuttleworth's Back’. But guess what? The show is also about…his back! It's been giving him trouble, you see.
John Shuttleworth will be appearing at the National Portrait Gallery in London on May 24 for an hour of music, chat and clips from the acclaimed movie It’s Nice Up North filmed by Martin Parr.
