Paul Oldfield (born 30 March 1966), better known by his stage name Mr Methane, is a British flatulist who started performing in 1991. He briefly retired in 2006, but restarted in mid-2007. He claims to be the only performing farter in the world. He worked on the railways as a train driver. He took an early retirement after a train's brakes failed at Sheffield. After this incident, he then started focusing on his flatulence performances.
