A creation of comedian and musician Chris Sievey (1955–2010), Frank Sidebottom was an anarchic cartoon like alter ego. The character was recognisable by his large spheroidal head and always sharply dressed in a suit. He built a cult following throughout the late 1980s, appearing regularly on television and radio.
