John Shuttleworth
John Shuttleworth is back on stage, and he’s coming to Runcorn’s Brindley Theatre this February.
As ever, John will begin the show with a song, performed on his amazing Yamaha organ with built-in auto-accompaniment!
“John Shuttleworth’s back
With 2020 vision
I haven’t lost the knack
Of playing the fun rhythm
But John Shuttleworth’s back
Oo the pain and gyp it’s given!
I pray though
It’s just lumbago
If it’s a slipped disc
I shouldn’t risk this
But I’ve got my fiery jack
And emergency ice pack
So let’s get this show on track
John Shuttleworth’s Back!”
Yes indeed, “Sheffield’s funniest man” (The Independent) John Shuttleworth is “back” – after a well-deserved home DIY sabbatical of three whole years! The versatile singer/organist and verbal rambler extraordinaire will be taking to the stage once again in 2020 for a full UK tour. Starting on 21 January and heading through the entire country until May, tickets are on sale now from http://bit.ly/JSTourDates.
Despite ongoing back issues following years of strenuous DIY and playing the organ while perched upon a multi-pack of Diet Sprite in his garage with no lumbar support, Shuttleworth – ever the trouper – will brave the stage to regale audiences with an evening of his classic compositions, plus brand new songs and hilarious ‘back’ stories, pausing only to reapply his deep heat rub!
About returning to the stage, John Shuttleworth says, “I’m quite excited. I’m not leaping into the air about it though, obviously… I don’t want to do my back in!”
And a new tour from “A tour de force of comic observation” (The Observer) is only part of the story…
December 22nd, 2019 sees a welcome return of the much loved ‘fly on the wall’ sitcom, ‘The Shuttleworths’ on BBC Radio 4, voted “the 26th Best Radio show ever” in a recent Radio Times poll. There is also a brand new book by “The 42nd best reason to love Britain” (The Telegraph) ‘TWO MARGARINES and other Domestic Dilemmas’. Released in April 2020 by renowned music publisher Omnibus – the first John Shuttleworth book in over 20 years will be available for fans to buy exclusively at shows throughout the tour.
