14th March 2022 – Tyne Theatre & Opera House
As ever – John will begin the show with a song, performed on his amazing Yamaha organ with built-in auto-accompaniment!
Yes indeed, “Sheffield’s funniest man” (The Independent) John Shuttleworth is “back” – after an enforced period of time at home! The versatile singer/organist and verbal rambler extraordinaire will be taking to the stage once again in 2022.
John’s bad back is much better now, thank you, so he can safely punch the air once more as he performs all the faves from his pre-lockdown tour including classics like ‘Y Reg’, ‘I Can’t Go Back To Savoury’ and ‘Pigeons in Flight’. Expect too fantastic new ditties written during lockdown, including ‘Stay at Home and Protect the VHS’. The songs will be interrupted by hilarious phone calls from Ken, Mary and Joan Chitty, plus John’s tips on how to cope with modern home life, as described in his stylish new(ish) book ‘Two Margarines and other Domestic Dilemmas’! As seen recently in ‘Ricky and Ralph Go Out “(Dave )
“A LUDICROUSLY COMPELLING NIGHT OUT” EVENING STANDARD
“PUNCH THE AIR TO CHARACTER COMEDY IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN” SUNDAY TIMES
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.
