John Shuttleworth

A product of the freewheeling imagination of British comedian Graham Fellows, John Shuttleworth is a fictional singer/songwriter plagued with a delusional sense of his own celebrity. Fellows frames his Shuttleworth character as a tragic but always personable and sympathetic figure who is convinced his music is making a unique mark on pop culture. The humor lies in the cheesiness and bizarre subject matter of his songs coupled with the earnestness of the approach. Armed with his portable Yamaha keyboard and identifiable by his thick glasses and slicked back hair, Fellows has created a memorable character in the tragi-comic Shuttleworth persona that has found a cult following in the UK.
