R.I.P. Frank Sidebottom

The legend that is Frank Sidebottom (or Chris Sievey as he was really known) has died aged 54 :-(

If you don't know anything about him or his comedy basically he completely did his own thing since the 80's and although not a lot of people "got" his humour, which was mainly on the spot stuff, those who did loved him and always kept an eye out for him wherever he was or whatever he did.

He will be sadly missed.

R.I.P. Frank.






And outta all his Channel M stuff - this my favourite, especially the 2 minute mark!

    I didn't realise he was still alive until recently. God bless him.

    He was a genius.

    This is his last performance, recorded on June 11th, singing 'Three Shirts on my Line' his World Cup 2010 song. Enjoy:
