Roy “Chubby”
Brown is a modern day phenomenon. He has become a huge superstar
without appearing on television, some may say his success is because
he does not appear on our T.V screens.
His Videos and DVD’s sell in millions and his live appearance
are ‘sell outs’ months in advance.
His outrageous material is considered by many to be offensive,
however he has always warned his audience “If easily offended
please stay away”
This
warning has worked in his favour, forbidden fruit!
His comic appearance multi-coloured funny suit and flying helmet
is not far removed from the traditional circus clown. His delivery,
style, comic songs, funny walk/dance is all contained in a genuinely
funny man.
He is a lovely man off-stage and it is a joy to be in his company,
he laughs at himself, (well he is 19 stones) his wife, other people,
and life itself. His material is never static; he reviews the
newspapers every day and will constantly find comedy within.
His philosophy, find one funny piece every day, over a year that
is a lot of material.
In 2002 he was devastated when diagnosed with throat cancer Roy
was told that if he survived he might never be able to talk again
but after successful treatment, grit, determination and the care
of his wife and family, surgeons, doctors and nurses he is back
to his best doing what he loves best entertaining his loyal fans.
He has toured the UK selling out theatres for the past 20 years,
and in February 2006 Roy toured Australia, New Zealand, and has
also played concerts in the Far East and the USA.
The popular cult television show ‘The League of Gentlemen’
named a village after him ‘Royston Vasey’ and asked
him to play the Mayor.
2006 was a very exciting year for the larger than life character.
Roy’s Autobiography ‘Common as Muck’ was released.
Within the first few weeks ‘Common as Muck’ entered
the Sunday Times Bestsellers Hardback charts at Number 7 and remained
within the top 10 for five weeks selling more than 2,000 books
per week. To date ‘Common as Muck’ has sold more than
40,000 since it’s release on 3rd August ’06.
5th July 2007 – ‘Common as Muck’ was released
on Paperback, and continues to remains one of the bestselling
autobiographies to date.
He has had 19 Videos and DVD’s released and a huge cinema
movie UFO.
On 6th November ’06 saw the release of Kick Arse Chubbs
which reached number one in the UK’s leading supermarket
chain Tescos, and Kick Arse Chubbs is currently the third best
stand up title of the year. Selling over 150,000 since November
6th.
On November 5th 2007 Roy’s 19th DVD ‘The Good, The
Bad and the Fat Ba**ard’ was released along with a triple
box set collection, including the above title plus ‘The
Helmets Last Stand’ and ‘From inside the Helmet’
never released on DVD before. Roy keeps on delivering the gags
in his own inimitable style. Crammed full of stuff too rude for
TV, ‘The Good, the Bad and the Fat Ba**ard’ is a must
see for fans of the outrageous.
You can always rely on Chubby to shock but never disappoint. There’s
nothing this man isn’t afraid to talk about…!! So
don’t miss his live performance at the fantastic Ipswich
Regent on Wed 14th May.
