Graham Fellows

Graham has been the alter-ego of radio and TV comedy creation John Shuttleworth for more than 25 years. He was also Jilted John, singer of the hit song of the same name, in 1978. For his Coastival show, Graham will step out from behind Shuttleworth’s keyboard to sing his own brand of “revelatory, humorous and quirky still, sometimes sad” songs.

He will talk about Shuttleworth as well as his other comic characters, plus his pivotal acting role on Coronation Street, and becoming a teenage pop star as Jilted John. He promises to share the tale of the night jazz legend, George Melly broke into Graham's bedsit, and of the time he bought a packet of bread sauce with a famous Hollywood actor, poignantly recalled in the ballad, 'Mark Rylance Was My Lodger'.
