The bedsit anarchist returns with the old gold, the old truths and some new truths (based on the old truths) for a farewell tour on March 25th
For over 35 years, Munnery has performed around the world, experimenting with and innovating the stand-up form. In the 1990s, his Alan Parker: Urban Warrior character took the comedy circuit by storm, garnering Munnery his own B.B.C. Radio 1 series (29 Minutes of Truth), which Time Out called “the funniest thing on Radio One” and a residency on I.T.V.’s Saturday Live. 1996 saw him collaborate with Graham Linehan and Stewart Lee for a B.B.C.2 show London Shouting in his Alan Parker guise, and the character also became a regular contributor to NME magazine.
Simon Munnery is a British Comedy Award nominee, Perrier Award nominee, Sony Radio Award winner and Chortle Award winner. He’s most recently appeared in C4’s acclaimed Flowers and will soon be seen in Will Sharpe’s Louis Wain movie biopic, co-starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.
Simon Munnery: Alan Parker Urban Warrior Farewell Tour is at Liverpool’s Royal Court Studio on 25th March at 7.30pm. Tickets and information are available from www.liverpoolsroyalcourt.com or on 0151 709 4321.
