Why is this blue plaque so special? We’re standing before a tribute to a man who redefined British comedy. This is the Kenny Everett Plaque, marking the former home of the legendary comedian, DJ, and TV entertainer, Kenny Everett. Kenny lived here at 91 Lexham Gardens from 1981 until his untimely death in 1995. Kenny’s career was marked by outrageous characters, innovative use of sound and technology, and a rebellious streak that often saw him clashing with authorities. From his early days on pirate radio to his iconic TV shows like “The Kenny Everett Video Show”, he pushed the boundaries of comedy. He wasn’t afraid to be silly, subversive, and sometimes even a little bit naughty. He introduced us to characters like Sid Snot, Marcel Wave, and Cupid Stunt. Everett’s comedic genius was fueled by his fascination with sound effects and his ability to disappear into wacky personas. He was a master of voices and a true original, leaving an undeniable mark on British entertainment. Kenny Everett died in 1995 from an AIDS-related illness, but his legacy as a comedic innovator and fearless entertainer remains strong.
