Everywhere that Beatles and Comedy meet! The ultimate celebration of The Beatles, The Rutles and Rock 'n' Roll Comedy is in shops and online now!
This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the first we ever heard from a certain Ron Nasty, a sufferer of Love Songs, who started the whole Rutles legacy from a Rutland mental institution: www.dailymotion.com/video/xu9sj #FabFoolsFriday #Beatles #Rutles #MontyPython #Comedy🃏🎶✌🏽

That's just how it works.

If you want something to cheer up a dull January, can I suggest this fascinating read from @jemroberts.bsky.social - how the Beatles and comedy intersect, from George Martin working with the Goons to funding Monty Python films. This is great fun and an interesting new perspective on the band.

Do you like The Beatles?
Yeah?
Well, why aren't you following this account then? Liars.
Nice chat with Roger McGough here.
Recently heard a bit of our audiobook, and I regret making Roger sound a bit of a flat scally – his voice is more of a Tarbuck-style mellifluous up-and-down. Sorry, Rog. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
It’s not just #FabFoolsFriday, it’s David Bowie Day – the one day between his birthday and deathday. This photo proves Paul was his favourite Beatle, but of course it’s The Rutles he’s best known for sneering at. youtu.be/ADgTb7srgcQ?... ✌🏽🎶🃏

Noisy salutes to the great Sir George Martin, the 7th Beatle and Master of Audio Comedy, on what should have been his 100th birthday! Maybe the kidnap did him no favours... www.reddit.com/r/TheBeatles...

Gear New Year and happy #FabFoolsFriday, nits!
What if The Beatles had covered Queen?
No, but what if they bloody well had?
Then, this, probably: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo2j...

POPFAX: The 'My Sweet Lord' that George Harrison sang about was actually Quintin Hogg, Lord Hailsham. Sadly, he never got to know him after all.

Happy Xmas Eve! As those who have ever read an actual book know, The Muppet Christmas Carol is only the 7th or 8th best adaptation of Dickens' tale. This is the day when we enjoy the best one of all: THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL! www.dailymotion.com/video/x55f6ek

Merry #FabFools Friday, nits! As it’s the last before Crimble, we have no shame in making this week a repeat – dai.ly/x55f6ek
THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL is both the greatest thing made in the name of The Beatles since 1970, and the best version of the Scrooge story since 1843.
Harry Crumble! ✌🏽🃏🎶🎄

It's not #FabFoolsFriday, but it is our very pal Ron Nasty's birthday – 81 today in the not-shit universe – so here's a festive offering from Sir Neil Innes to mark the occasion. Still missing you, Neil. x youtu.be/efoit7hwXUc?... 🎄✌🏾🎶🃏🎅🏻

Why didn’t Giles just make his own ‘Classical Anthology’ album, rather than filling this meagre tracklist up with orchestral backing tracks? There are still at least a dozen unreleased Beatle originals!

27.11.2025 10:23 — 👍 2 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0Surely all Beatle freaks will have agreed by now that Anthology 4 is a puzzling disappointment of truly surreal proportions. Yet, unlike any other band, the best bits are still the ones that make you laugh out loud. Like this one: #FabFoolsFriday youtube.com/playlist?lis... ✌🏽🎶🃏
