Wavis O'Shave is a surreal English musician and comedian, who regularly appeared on Channel 4's music show, The Tube (1982–1987).
O'Shave's last TV appearance was on the Granada Television show, Stars In Their Eyes, performing Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" in 1994.
To promote the album he only played one gig - at the Music Machine, Camden, in March 1980 - and he didn't even turn up for that.
The gig Donald refers to was reviewed in the British Music Press by RECORD MIRROR on 5/4/1980 without the magazine realising it wasn't actually the real Wavis.
[citation needed] Another of O'Shave's tracks, "Mauve Shoes are Awful", has been included on the Stateside Hyped2death compilation disc Messthetics no 4.
O'Shave gave an exclusive video interview to Newcastle award winning PEEP Magazine in December 2020.
