Once The Most Radical. Now The Only Radical, As Simon Munnery Reprises His Cult Comedy Creation Alan Parker At The Royal Court Studio.

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.
