Part of a drawing of a shack for a friend for a CD.Wise men say only Cthulhus rush into abominable un.Hey, Waiter, There's a Cthulhu in my.Eaaaargh!.It's still in the floating around inside my head stage but I know it will involve hundreds of the Kipper clones with the original two in some peucliar situation.īe sure to check out the websites of the Kippers, Brian Routh and Martin von Haselberg to see the peculiar arry of things they are up to now. I have plans on making a large digital work that is a tribute to the Kipper Kids. they are also very artistically inspiring to me. Routh's performance was entitled Actor Says Goodnight. Routh returned on Novemto perform solo on a double bill with Karen Finley. You'll see in this comic the Kipper clones which are also running rampant in this clip.Īnother point of interest are the songs created by Brian Routh.Īnd while I find this duo of bizarre characters incredibly funny, they get into such abstract surreal and wildly bizarre scenarios as can be seen in their numerous short films. The Kipper Kidsboth stage-named 'Harry Kipper'were Martin Rochus Sebastian von Haselberg (born 20 January 1949) and Brian Routh (9 March 19483 August 2018). No, as it turns out Brian Routh made a comic about the exploits of the Kipper Kids in 1977 titled "Kipper Kids ComiX" which can be viewed and purchased here.
I'll bet you thought this had nothing to do with comics. At some point one of them starts saying "smokey bacon! smokey bacon!" and they say it back and forth.
#The kipper kids full
One of them is a full sequence of the Kippers doing their thing, throwing food on each other and grunting about. If you have the chance you should check out the dvd and watch the cut out scenes.
#The kipper kids movie
This movie is a perfect fit for the surreal insanity of the Kipper Kids. Then many years go by and in 2004 I discover Richard Elfman's film Forbidden Zone. They appeared during the fundraiser for the channel.
The only time I'd get to see them rootin and tootin around on the big screen. At the age of 11 I saw UHF (yeah I was one of the few people who actually did see it in the theater) and there was a cameo appearance of the Kipper Kids. It was one of the funniest goddamn things I'd ever seen and has stayed in my head ever since. My first experience with these characters, made up of Brian Routh and Martin von Haselberg was sometime in the mid 80's on The Mondo Beyondo Show, the clip posted above. If you are one of those unlucky individuals to be unfamiliar, well this post should send you on the insane road to the other side. Sugden felt that he had to kill off the character as people kept asking when Henry would return.The world is divided into two halves, those who know who the Kipper Kids are and those who don't. When the duo split in 1991, Henry Kipper was pronounced dead. Just-near- Trunch, is known as the home of the Kipper Family. Henry: "If you are trying to be clever with me, you're wastin' your time".
Often, as with all comedy doubles, they would swap being one down or one up with their replies: And Henry (Nudds made to look like an old man) with a threadbare cardigan and string to hold up his trousers in place of a belt. Sid with slicked back hair, a smart suit and a kipper tie, the look of a spiv. Their appearance was just like any other folk singers. The duo would put on Norfolk accents and delivered Norfolk inspired humour. Ĭhris Sugden has now retired the character of Sid Kipper.
#The kipper kids series
In 2006, Sugden presented a series of podcasts for Channel 4 radio called The Kipper Country Code, as Sid Kipper. One Saturday the destination was Trunch, and who should be there but Sid and Henry. The children's programme, Get Fresh, featured a spaceship that would arrive in a different location each Saturday morning. They were seen once on British television. In addition to the released LPs, Christmas with the Kippers, a Christmas special, was recorded for BBC Radio Two. Later recordings include "We're Norfolk and Good", "Arrest These Merry Gentlemen" and "Bored of the Dance" and also a folk opera, The Crab Wars. In the early days, the Kipper Family would perform to crowds expecting an ordinary folk act, firmly staying in character during the whole period in the public eye, and it would be several songs into the set before the penny dropped. Partly parodying the Copper Family, they performed their variations of traditional folk songs, with lyrics twisted to take in themes including cross-dressing, under-age sex, homosexuality at sea and the dissection of human cadavers. The group performed as the Kipper Family throughout the 1980s and released several cult albums.
