Biography:
Papa Lazarou is a recurring character from the British dark comedy television series, The League of Gentlemen. He is portrayed by Reece Shearsmith.
Lazarou is a grotesque and unsettling figure, instantly recognizable by his heavily applied blackface makeup, oversized hands, and distinctive high-pitched voice. He is the proprietor of a traveling 'Pandemonium' circus and has a penchant for kidnapping women, whom he refers to as "Dave," and forcing them to work in his circus.
His character is rooted in outdated and offensive minstrelsy traditions, a fact which has led to considerable controversy and criticism surrounding the show in recent years. As a result, scenes featuring Papa Lazarou have been edited or removed from some broadcasts and streaming platforms.
While undeniably memorable, Papa Lazarou represents a problematic element within The League of Gentlemen, reflecting outdated and harmful stereotypes.
