LEIGH FRANCIS/KEITH LEMON RESEARCH TASK

Keith Lemon research:

Leigh Francis, or as he's otherwise known as, Keith Lemon is a comedian who takes on the role of many different characters. He uses his character's as a vessel for his obscene and crude comedy which he has used to build his impressive career. Leigh's first appearance on television was on the TV show Bo' Selecta! where he portrayed the character Avid Merrion. Merrion always preferred the darker side of comedy and would often reference controversial topics like perversion and cancer. 
However, when the show was cancelled in 2006 Francis turned to different styles of comedy other than sketch shows. He created the panel show 'Celebrity Juice' in 2008 after ITV had approached him about starting a show with his character Keith Lemon due to the popularity of the five part series 'Keith Lemon's Very Brilliant World Tour'. The show is still running today and is becoming more well-known every episode. Every episode has the same set of regulars that include Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Rufus Hound
His most recent endeavors include reviving the panel show 'Through the keyhole' in 2013 and starting 'The Keith Lemon Sketch Show' in " 2015 lasting through until 2016.
