Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps

Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps

In the stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse, Cyril "Barmy" Fotheringay-Phipps (pronounced "Funghy Fipps") is a member of the Drones Club along with fellow club members Tuppy Glossop, Gussie Fink-Nottle, and others. As Russell Baker commented in the opening segment of Masterpiece Theatre's showing of the "Jeeves and Wooster" series, nicknames are rampant at English clubs. Barmy certainly lives up to his nickname. When we are introduced to him in the first Jeeves and Wooster episode, he states that he hasn't ever been to Kensington. When it is pointed out to him that his mother lives in Kensington, he absorbs this piece of information with the comment, "Oh...THAT Kensington!"

In the Granada television adaptation "Jeeves and Wooster", Barmy is portrayed by two different actors at different times during the show's run, Martin Clunes and Adam Blackwood.
