More than 40 years since Graham Fellows first introduced John Shuttleworth across the airwaves, his singer-songwriter alter ego remains one of our best-loved comedy characters. From three decades on Radio 4 to BBC2 rockumentary 500 Bus Stops, Graham – who first found fame in the 1970s punk era as Jilted John – comes to Faversham to share stories and songs from his book, and may even discuss the time he rented out his spare room to actor Mark Rylance! In conversation with Siân Pattenden.

According to his very funny website Graham Fellows has been a paperboy, a champion mouse breeder, a builder's labourer, a barman, a teenage pop sensation, a stage actor, a soap star (well, a few episodes of Coronation Street in 1983), a milkman, a character comedian, a film director, a film star, and a singer/songwriter. He has also written... 'The finest lyrics known to man' (The Independent)...
