John Shuttleworth will be appearing at the National Portrait Gallery in London on May 24 for an hour of music, chat and clips from the acclaimed movie It’s Nice Up North filmed by Martin Parr.

Shuttleworth is the creation of Graham Fellows. He starred in the hit series 500 Bus Stops on BBC2 as well as Celebrity Antiques Roadshow, Pointless and most recently, Count Arthur Strong, all on BBC1. His radio series, The Shuttleworths, is the 10th Best Radio Comedy Series Ever (source Radio Times 2019).

This event is part of the programme of events complementing the current exhibition Only Human: Martin Parr. The exhibition includes a portrait of John Shuttleworth as well as the lyrics of a song he wrote about Martin Parr.

It's Nice Up North is also due to be screened on May 26 in Halifax as part of the Up North Film and Television Festival, with Shuttleworth/Fellows appearing there too. Buy tickets for that event and find out more details about it here.
