YUH 151 - Author Richard Sparks and Classic British Comedy

Richard Sparks from "Merry ol' England" has experienced tremendous success in the entertainment business, having worked with such luminaries as Placido Domingo, Rowan Atkinson and the inimitable John Cleese of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers fame. Richard got his big break as a writer on "Not The Nine O'clock News", an irreverent take on the days affairs that featured anchors broadcasting from bed and the unique talents of Rowan Atkinson. One of Richard's biggest claims to fame is as the author of Atkinson's famous "Schoolmaster" routine, in which the future Mr. Beane puts a hilarious spin on attendance taking and dsicipline. As satisfying as his career was, Richard always had an itch to scratch as a fantasy fiction writer. Buoyed by his night time hobby of online gaming, his latest novel "New Rock New Role" hits the market later this year, just in time for the holidays. It's a tour through the gallery of some of the greatest British comedians of all time, many of whom our guest had the pleasure of knowing! #newrocknewrole #rowanatkinson #johncleese #notthenineoclocknews #theschoomaster #fantasyfiction #sciencefiction #montypython #fawltytowers
