The hilarious and award-winning cult comedy show from one of the UK’s funniest comedians

With well over a decade’s worth of hilarity from Graham Fellows, this packed audio collection features five series of The Shuttleworths, voted the 10th best comedy of 2019 and 26th best radio programme of all time by Radio Times readers. Settle down with ten hours of laugh-out-loud listening from one of the UK’s most loved comedians.

Gentle-mannered, former sweet factory security guard and versatile singer/organist, John Shuttleworth records his fascinatingly mundane life on a tape recorder. With contributions from his foolish next-door neighbour (and sole agent) Ken Worthington, his tight-lipped wife, dinner lady Mary, not to mention her blousy friend, man-eater Joan Chitty. In the hands of John, no idea is too small, no plot too trivial, and no subject unsuitable for a song played on his trusty portable Yamaha keyboard. Daily life is laid bare, revealing just how funny and sad and absorbing the mundane can be. Listen and laugh as this Sheffield-based, nerdy, middle-aged aspiring singer-songwriter dreams of Eurovision and beyond…

Written and performed entirely by Graham Fellows, this is a masterclass in comic creativity. His organic approach of improvising in his home studio lends this show its uniqueness. This novel method captivated audiences when it first aired on Radio 4 in 1993 and has continued to delight fans through numerous series, specials and spinoff programmes. This collection contains five series plus Special episodes including John Shuttleworth’s Open House, Europigeon, and The Leg End of Robin Hood. Fans of Ed Reardon, Jeremy Hardy and Tim Key will love this quirky and charming cult comedy show.
