Wavis gave peep an exclusive interview with “THE HARD” Felt Nowt – Wavis O Shave in his last EVER interview. Wavey broke into the comedy scene by creating his own space on the very popular Channel 4 Tyne Tees Television show – ‘The Tube’.


Wavis o Shave’s most popular character was ‘The Hard’ and the ‘Felt Nowt’ catchphrase. The words came from an infamous character from South Shields. Wavis O Shave also lifts the lid on stories and shares the ideas behind the fascinating characters. We also discuss meeting Debbie Harry, Kenny Everett, Jools Holland and Paula Yates.

Wavis o Shave explains, that he took the inspiration form Martin Scorsese’s black comedy – ‘King Of Comedy‘. Rupert Pupkin, Played by the method actor Robert De Niro. The film follows Rupert as he desperately tries to succeed in the entertainment business.

Wavis discusses a resurgence in his career as peep interviewed him around two years ago. Peep got an exclusive ‘never seen before interview’ with the famous television character – ‘The Hard’ and his ‘Felt Nowt’ catch-phrase.

The alternative comedian also mentions a script idea with visions of it being a feature film. The only problem was, he needed 8,000 pounds to get this idea in motion. Unfortunately, Wavis did not have that available cash at the time.

So, he did what any respectable artist would do . . . contact Anna-Frid Lyngstad from the swedish band – ABBA of course. Wavis had inside information that Anna could possible be interested in script ideas.

Wavis O’ Shave‘s long time childhood friend ‘Phil The Gap‘ recalls being on set at the Channel 4 production days. Phil remembers the TV crew (who were all wearing Barbour Jackets at the time). The TV crew expressed their concern when Wavis explained he would not be introducing new characters to his comedy act.


( Editors Note ). peep would like this opportunity to explain that Barbour Jackets have now been replaced with North Face jackets. Unfortunately, the pompous middle class attidutes still remain the same.
The new characters Wavis wanted to introduce were “Mister Stary Oot” and “Mr Ordinary Powder“. Other characters included the X-Rated Punch and Judy style show called “The No Sweary Puppet Show“. The show translated into a foul mouthed geordie master class !


Wavis O’ Shave ( real name unkown) famously turned down six episodes of the “The Hard”. Channel were keen to develop the character for for a channel 4 tv production series. Wavey explained states he had absolutely no regrets in doing this, and was not interested in being a british houshold name.
