Hi. I contribute to Australian political articles as a member of WikiProject Australian politics, to Sydney geography articles as a member of WikiProject Sydney, and to other media, news, and medical-related topics.
George Grossmith (9 December 1847 – 1 March 1912) was an English comedian, writer, composer, actor, and singer. As a writer and composer, he created eighteen comic operas, nearly a hundred musical sketches, some six hundred songs and piano pieces, three books (including the 1892 comic novel The Diary of a Nobody), and both serious and comic pieces for newspapers and magazines. In a four-decade career as a performer, Grossmith created a series of nine characters in Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas from 1877 to 1889, such as Major-General Stanley in The Pirates of Penzance. Grossmith then became the most popular British solo performer of the 1890s; some of his comic songs endure today. This 1881 photograph shows Grossmith posing in costume as Reginald Bunthorne in the original production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience at the Opera Comique in London.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
