LISTON, JOHN (c. 1776-1846) , English comedian, was born in London. He made his public debut on the stage at Weymouth as Lord Duberley in The Heir -at-law. After several dismal failures in tragic parts, some of them in support of Mrs Siddons, he discovered accidentally that his forte was comedy, especially in the personation of old men and country boys, in which he displayed a fund of drollery and broad humour. An introduction to Charles Kemble led to his appearance at the Hay-market on the loth of June 1805 as Sheepface in the Village
Liston remained on the stage till 1837; during his last years his mind failed, and he died on the 22nd of March 1846. He had married in 18o7 Miss Tyrer (d. 1854), a singer
Several pictures of Liston in character are in the Garrick
South
