Comedian, writer, composer, actor and singer George Grossmith was Gilbert and Sullivan’s original 'patterman'. For 12 years he toured with the company as a supremely popular entertainer and was a crucial influence on the comedic elements of the duo's operas. During his time with the D’Oyly Carte company, Grossmith did more than any other performer to define the unique wit and musical charm that is the reason for the continued popularity of Gilbert and Sullivan worldwide.
