The Umbrella Jab Dance has its roots in the Austro-Hungarian folk tradition, primary exponents being the cult of Franz Ferdinand, but it reached its highest expression in the 1970s in Great Britain. The undisputed master of the UJD is John Cleese; it is, admittedly, less well-known than his epic Ring Cycle of Silly Walks, but is much appreciated by the cognoscenti. His remarkably prehensile lower limbs showed the way forward towards a far greater range of possible umbrella thrusts achievable without severe groinal trauma.

  • The Umbrella Jab Dance has its roots in the Austro-Hungarian folk tradition, primary exponents being the cult of Franz Ferdinand, but it reached its highest expression in the 1970s in Great Britain. The undisputed master of the UJD is John Cleese; it is, admittedly, less well-known than his epic Ring Cycle of Silly Walks, but is much appreciated by the cognoscenti. His remarkably prehensile lower limbs showed the way forward towards a far greater range of possible umbrella thrusts achievable without severe groinal trauma. Many of his techniques were later reprised by music-hall showman Aphex Twin, in the cinematographic reel accompanying his ode to comparison shopping, Windowlicker.
