Keith Shenton Harris (21 September 1947 – 28 April 2015) was an English ventriloquist, best known for his television show The Keith Harris Show (1982–90), audio recordings, and club appearances with his puppets Orville the Duck and Cuddles the Monkey. He had a UK Top 10 hit single in 1982 with "Orville's Song" which reached number 4 in the charts.

​

Harris' best known creation, Orville the duck, came about after he saw some green fur lying around backstage at a performance of The Black and White Minstrel Show in Bristol. Orville, recalled Simon Farquhar in his Independent obituary of Harris, was "a huge, gormless, falsetto-voiced green duckling sporting a nappy fastened by a giant safety pin". Harris recorded "Orville's song", written by Bobby Crush. It made the Top Ten in the UK singles chart in 1982 and sold 400,000 copies. It was later voted the worst song ever recorded.

​

In 2002 (filmed in 2001) Keith Harris was the subject of an episode of 'When Louis Theroux Met'

which gave a vunique look into Keith's personal and home life and followed him as he prepared

for his 2002 pantomime stint playing Buttons in Cinderella at the Crewe Lyceum in a Charles

Vance production. With exclusive rehearsal footage of Keith directing and a visit to Keith's Mum

who had created a new costumefor his  panto performance this show was a fascinating insight

into Keith Harris and his thoughts about his career. At times despite trying his best to give out a

cheery outlook Keith came across as having regrets that his career had never hit the heights he

would have liked. Although throughout the documentary there were some awkward moments 

between Louis and Keith the pair remained friends following the filming.

​

Harris had his spleen removed and chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis in 2013. He subsequently returned to work. The cancer returned in 2014 and he died on 28 April 2015, at the age of 67.
