English comedy actor and musician Graham Fellows brings his beloved character John Shuttleworth to Oldham Coliseum Theatre on Saturday 8 February.

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!

Actor/musician Graham Fellows has a long history of creating lovable characters and his first – Jilted John – reached number 4 in the UK charts in 1978 selling half a million copies. Graham was also behind “The Forest Gump of Rock” Brian Appleton who appeared in a variety of stage and TV shows and enjoyed two series on BBC Radio 4, plus Goole based concreter Dave Tordoff who delighted audiences with his very special brand of humour.

Graham recently appeared as himself on BBC TV’s Celebrity Mastermind, toured the UK in his stage show Completely Out Of Character whilst releasing a critically acclaimed album of heartfelt indie-folk songs – Weird Town. John Shuttleworth, meanwhile, guest-starred in an episode of BBC TV’s Count Arthur Strong and motored around Britain with Wayne Hemingway in Celebrity Antiques Roadshow as well as winning Pointless Celebrities and the coveted Pointless Trophy.

John Shuttleworth’s Back comes to Oldham Coliseum’s Studio on Saturday 8 February at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £18 / £16 concessions.

Tickets can be bought in person at Oldham Coliseum Theatre, by phone on 0161 624 2829 or online at www.coliseum.org.uk
