Graham Fellows discusses his unique blend of comedy and songwriting, highlighting his career and alter egos.
Graham Fellows 'Do what you like or don't bother' Graham Fellows is an English comedian, musician, actor, and song writer whose career uniquely blends sharp character comedy with expertly crafted pop songwriting. He first found chart success with the 1978 punk-inflected hit Jilted John , a UK Top 5 single released under the persona of Jilted John Fellows later went on to create his most enduring alter ego, John Shuttleworth, the earnest Sheffield singer-songwriter whose gentle satire and lo-fi organ ballads have become a beloved fixture of British comedy. Across television, radio, stage and music, Fellows has built a distinctive body of work that combines humour with heart, using character to explore ambition, vulnerability, and the quiet drama of everyday life. https://grahamfellowsmusic.com/
