Can You Guess the Comedian Who Looks Unrecognisable with Rotten Teeth?

BBG News

On Sunday, I posted an image on Instagram that left many of my followers baffled – it was me, disguised beyond recognition in a costume featuring dreadfully decayed teeth. As the renowned jester I am, I always strive to bring a touch of the unexpected and humorous into my life, even when sharing moments from behind the mask.

The comedian renowned for his hilarious, unforgettable sketches and iconic catchphrases is presently appearing in live performances of Les Misérables at arenas in Sydney and Melbourne.

From a profanity-prone high school student to an actor hailing from Wales who identifies as gay, he showcases an impressive range of acting abilities. To add to that, he’s also made appearances in highly successful films like Gladiator 2 and Bridesmaids.

More recently, he reconnected with his comedy collaborator following a disagreement, bringing joy to fans who eagerly anticipate their potential return to television soon.

But can you guess who it is?

Indeed, it’s none other than the well-known Matt Lucas, aged 51, who gained fame for co-creating and performing in the hit show Little Britain, partnered with David Walliams, who is also 53 years old.

The comedy series titled “Little Britain,” broadcast on BBC Three and BBC One, spanned across 3 seasons from 2003 to 2006, with a total of 44 episodes being aired.

Fifteen years following their final episode of “Come Fly With Me,” a mockumentary set at a fictitious airport and airline, the duo reconnected in February to host a fresh podcast titled “Making A Scene.

This month, during a performance, Matt, portraying Monsieur Thénardier in the musical, was suddenly substituted by his fellow actor, Connor Jones, due to unexpected health problems that Matt encountered onstage.

On Instagram, he shared that he had to withdraw from the performance because his voice suddenly left him in the middle of it.

He wrote: ‘I’ve been having a magical time in Les Miserables in arenas in Sydney and Melbourne. 

For more than three decades, I have consistently completed every performance without any interruption. However, during tonight’s show, while singing the role of Master of the House, I suddenly noticed a strange sensation that my voice was leaving me.

In Act 2, you might notice a change in how Thenardier appears. This transformation is due to the outstanding performance of Connor Jones, who stepped into the role.

Matt wants to assure his supporters that he’s taking some time off right now to rest, and he’s eagerly looking forward to getting back on stage as soon as possible. He put it this way: “I’m currently resting in bed, and I can’t wait to hit the stage again soon.

The journey kicked off in Sydney a month ago, and it’s running until May 25th in Melbourne. After that, it heads to Brisbane for a span of five performances.

The upcoming five-week Australian run is a special tribute marking the 40th anniversary since the initial London staging of the show.

Following their live appearance on Lorraine earlier this year, they hinted at an extraordinary comeback for Little Britain.

The creators and stars of the BBC comedy series recently talked with Lorraine Kelly, age 65, on her ITV program regarding their latest podcast.

On the morning talk show, Lorraine expressed eagerness to find out if the program might come back again, following its removal from BBC iPlayer, Netflix, and BritBox in June of 2020.

David said: ‘Would you like to see it? We’ll do it especially for you.’ 

Matt added: ‘If we were to do it again, maybe on stage, or something like that.

‘We did a tour 20 years ago, it was great fun, I think that would be a good way to do it again.’ 

Previously during the interview, Lorraine shared with the celebrities: “Little Britain has been revitalized on TikTok. A new generation seems to be discovering and enjoying it.

David responded: “Indeed, my child is 11 years old now, and it’s a hot topic among his classmates. You’re absolutely correct that TikTok is where many are posting about it.

A fresh wave of people is experiencing it, and I find that short video snippets on social media platforms are fantastic for brief moments.

Lorraine admitted that as she was tuning in, she recalled seeing George Michael and Elton John on the show.

Lorraine stated: “Part of it could land you in trouble these days. However, much of it remains just as hilarious as it has always been. If you find it unsuitable, simply choose not to watch it.

David admitted: “As for me, it seems like they’re saying a new episode of Little Britain comes out every day.

‘Every day someone comes up to me in the street.’ 

In today’s world, where laughter is particularly valuable, Lorraine gleamed with joy upon hinting at their possible comeback, saying: ‘We could surely use more chuckles!’
