In his 2004 autobiography 'Rude Kids - The Unfeasible story of VIZ', author and ex-British comic adult magazine VIZ COMIC Editor Chris Donald describes Wavis as 'He was a sort of cross between Howard Hughes,Tiny Tim and David Icke. He was never seen at the Gosforth Hotel and I'd only ever caught a glimpse of him once in the Anti-Pop office, when he didn't speak at all. To promote the album he only played one gig - at the Music Machine, Camden, in March 1980 - and he didn't even turn up for that. A heavily disguised Arthur 2 Stroke went on in his place. None of his fans knew what Wavis looked like, so there were no complaints'. The gig Donald refers to was reviewed in the British Music Press by RECORD MIRROR on 5/4/1980 without the magazine realising it wasn't actually the real Wavis.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://standupandspit.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/wavis-oshave-spizz-headline/ | title=Wavis O'Shave, Spizz, Headline | date=27 June 2017 }}</ref>
