John Shuttleworth: Raise the Oof
RBM
nb. This event takes place at different venues or in different spaces for different performances.
BBC Radio 4 favourite, comedy legend and 'the 42nd best reason to love Britain' (The Telegraph), John Shuttleworth is back at the Fringe with more hilarious stories and songs performed on his trusty Yamaha organ (with built-in auto accompaniment!) In Raise the Ooof John celebrates 40 years in showbiz. Yes, it was 1985 when he met TV's Clarinet Man – next door neighbour Ken Worthington who came last on New Faces in '73 (Tony Hatch crucified him!). 'It remains a comic endeavour both bittersweet and laugh-out-loud funny' **** (Times, February 2025).
