Musician / comic Boothby Graffoe has performed all over the world and is well-known as the first choice support act for Canadian Hall of Fame rockers Barenaked Ladies.

From humble beginnings in the pubs and clubs of Nottingham, Boothby went on to become a regular feature on the London Comedy Circuit, on more than one occasion finding himself performing at the world famous Comedy Store on every single night of the week.

He’s had four series on BBC Radio 4, written three critically acclaimed plays and recorded five equally critically acclaimed music CDs.

“Unique.” Stewart Lee

“I don’t use the word ‘genius’ to describe people very often, but that’s what he is. Such lovely songs, and then sometimes he make me laugh so much I get light-headed….” Omid Djalili

“In my humble opinion, Graffoe is the finest songwriter in the world.” Richard Thompson.

“Sings songs that are both beautiful and funny.” The Guardian
