Michael "Atters" Attree (born 22 April 1965 in Colchester Military Hospital) [1] is a British humourist and performer.
Attree was born to British colonial parents who met in East Africa during the early 1950s. He was born in Colchester. [2] He studied Fine Art & Film at Saint Martins School of Art. [3]
Attree writes as the editor at large for the satirical magazine The Chap. His feature interviews have included Leslie Phillips, [4] Sir Patrick Moore, [5] Brian Blessed, [6] Alan Moore [7] and Jilly Cooper, [8] while his ongoing column "The Pentagram of Atters" contains information regarding the supernatural. [9] Attree is a campaigner and activist within the "Chap movement". [10] In his book London Calling: A Countercultural History of London since 1945, Barry Miles recalls how Attree (along with two colleagues) climbed to the top of a Rachel Whiteread art installation as part of a "Tate Modern Protest". [11]
Attree has contributed to publications such as Time Out [12] and The Guardian [13] and erotic comedy for magazines such as Penthouse Forum, [14] Erotic Knave (as "The Knave") [15] and Erotic Review. [16] He was also Flux magazines Paranormal Investigations Editor [17] and contributes to magazines specific to the subject of the paranormal. [18] [19]
In the late 80s, Janet Street-Porter (then head of BBC Youth and Entertainment Features) commissioned Attree to work as a producer/director for BBC TV. [20] He later worked as a documentaries producer for Channel Four. [21]
His theatre show Atters Attree’s Chap-orgasmic Terrors is a sci-fi/horror/ conspiracy theory comedy spin off of his former Flux magazine series [22] and was performed as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe. [23] [24] [25] Le Figaro magazine states: "Anarcho- dandy, Michael Attree is a revolutionary cell in a three-piece suit who cherishes the dream of overthrowing the Western consumer society." [3]
Attree was chairman and host compère of the World Beard and Moustache Championships 2007, held at the Brighton Centre [26] and hosted the British Beard & Moustache Championships 2012 held at the Brighton Dome. [27] [28] He is a committee member of London's Handlebar Club [29] and was the editor of the club's journal for a number of years. [30] He is also a master of ceremonies performer within the fields of neo-burlesque. [20]
