John
Shuttleworth: My Last Will and Tasty Mint
Newcastle
Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Friday 20th January 2017
Tyne Theatre & Opera House are thrilled to
announce that “Sheffield’s finest singer/songwriter” (The Times), John
Shuttleworth, will bring his My Last Will and Tasty Mint show to the stage on
Friday 20th January 2017.
John Shuttleworth hits the road following
appearances on Celebrity Antiques Roadshow and the second series of Radio 4’s
John Shuttleworth’s Lounge Music for his farewell tour.
A recent health scare (well, a mild bout of
sciatica) has made Shuttleworth focus on his mortality, and the many things he
needs to do before the inevitable move into a hospice.
Can sole agent, Ken Worthington pull out the stops
and make John a star before his retirement? As befits a man living on borrowed
time – John considers Life’s major issues: the rise in popularity of hi viz
protective wear, the suitability of the plastic lid on takeaway coffee cups,
and the excitement he felt when sucking his first mint: “It gave my tongue
activity, as the mint’s flavours bore into me, turning my grey world azure blue
– I remember my first Polo, do you?”
As well as hilarious new songs, John will bash out
the favourites on his trusty Yamaha: ‘Two Margarines’, ‘I Can’t Go Back To Savoury
Now’, ‘Mutiny Over The Bounty’, ‘Y Reg’ plus many more. And at the end of it
all, a question remains: who should John donate his organs to, or should he
just sell them on Ebay?
John Shuttleworth is the comedy creation of the
legendary Graham Fellows, who is also known for his creation of the character
Jilted John. Jilted John came into prominence in the late 70s with the novelty
record ‘Jilted John’, which was first played on national radio by BBC Radio One’s John Peel
and even reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
Tyne Theatre & Opera House’s comedy line-up is
constantly expanding, as the theatre becomes the go-to venue in Newcastle upon Tyne
for some of the best stand-up comedians around including Sarah Millican.
