Graham Fellows

Graham Fellows is a British comedian, actor, singer-songwriter and character performer who is best known for creating the fictional character John Shuttleworth, a middle-aged aspiring singer-songwriter from Sheffield whose earnest optimism and social awkwardness have made him one of the most beloved comedy creations in British entertainment. The Shuttleworths showcases the world of John Shuttleworth and his long-suffering neighbours, bringing Fellows's gentle, observational comedy to the page. Fellows first gained fame in 1978 with the novelty single Jilted John, and he has since built a career performing as Shuttleworth in live shows, radio series and television specials. His comedy is characterised by its warmth, its pitch-perfect observation of suburban English life and its refusal to be cruel. His audiobooks and books offer fans of British comedy a chance to spend more time in the endearing world of Sheffield's most determined aspiring musician.
