By poprockcandy · March 27, 2008 ·


Liam Sullivan is best known for his “Kelly” character and most notably for his song and video entitled “Shoes“. The video has been viewed 14,195,412 on YouTube, and recently won the People’s Choice Award for “Favorite User-Generated Video”.

He is also taking his alter-ego on the road, opening for Margaret Cho to sold-out crowds across the country.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain recently spoke with Sullivan about the Beautiful Tour and his future plans.


Pop-Rock Candy Mountain (PRCM) The song “Shoes” is disturbingly gratifying in that it makes you laugh, but also, it kinda makes you want to boogie. Who wrote/performed the music for the song?

Liam Sullivan (LS) That would be me. Er, Kelly. Who is me. It’s kind of confusing.

PRCM: You are currently touring with Margaret Cho- is this your first big comedy tour?

LS: Yes, and it’s an extremely funny show, something I’m very proud to be a part of.


PRCM: What has the experience been like so far?

LS: Overwhelmingly gratifying. Performing for raucous crowds who are out for a good hard belly shakin’ laugh is what keeps me going.

PRCM: YouTube/ the internet in general have really changed the way artists and their audiences interact. What impact do you see the internet having on the entertainment industry?

LS: The internet offers distribution, something artists had to get through a studio or network before. Now, any artist can get their content out to the masses. It benefits everyone.

PRCM: Tell us about what’s coming up for you.

LS: More videos, more songs, more funny stuff. You can find out all about what I’m up to at liamshow.com.
