The author himself performed as a principal in the play, with singing, dancing, playing fiddle, and walking on stilts. The novelist and playwright Henry Fielding mentions the play in his novel Tom Jones: Thus the famous author of Hurlothrumbo told a learned bishop, that the reason his lordship could not taste the excellence of his piece was, that he did not read it with a fiddle in his hand; which instrument he himself had always had in his own, when he composed it.

  • Hurlothrumbo est un spectacle loufoque anglais du XVIIIe siècle écrit par le maître à danser Samuel Johnson, du Cheshire, et publié en 1729.Le spectacle comprend des éléments parlés et chantés. Écrivant à son sujet en 1855, Frederick Lawrence en dit : « La comédie extraordinaire de Hurlothrumbo dont il est question était alors (mirabiledictu!) le sujet de discussion et d'admiration de toute la ville. Une production aussi bizarre et démentielle a été rarement écrite de la plume d'un être humain. » L'auteur lui-même jouait le rôle principal de ce spectacle, chantant, dansant, jouant du violon, et marchant sur des échasses. Le dramaturge et novelliste Henry Fielding cite Hurlothrumbo dans sa nouvelle The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling :« Ainsi le fameux auteur de Hurlothrumbo dit à un savant évêque, que la raison pour laquelle Monseigneur ne pouvait pas apprécier l'excellence de sa pièce était qu'il ne la lisait pas avec un violon en main, alors que lui-même avait toujours tenu le sien pendant qu'il l'écrivait. » (fr)
