Quentin Crisp (born Denis Charles Pratt on 25 December 1908; died 21 November 1999) was an English writer, humorist and actor. From the mid-1970s his one-man stage show was a long-running hit both in Britain and America and he also appeared in films and on television. The British musician Sting dedicated his 1987 song "Englishman in New York" to Crisp (who moved to New York City in 1981). Two albums were released on Cherry Red Records "An Evening with Quentin Crisp" (2008) and "Miniatures 1 & 2"
Quentin Crisp (born Denis Charles Pratt; (1908-12-25)25 December 1908 – (1999-11-21)21 November 1999) was an English raconteur whose personal expression broke social norms of the era. Crisp gained notoriety for the 1968 memoir The Naked Civil Servant, popularized by its 1975 screen adaptation. Her flamboyant personality, fashion, and wit made Crisp a queer icon, and a sensation in live solo appearances later in life.
Crisp worked briefly as a rent boy during her teen years, then spent three decades as a professional artist's model for life classes in art colleges. The interviews she gave about her unusual life attracted great curiosity, and she was soon sought after for her personal views on social manners and the cultivation of style.
