2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Where comedy meets maverick cinema.

Taking a break from its monthly residency at London's Soho Theatre, Simon Munnery's unique comedy show ventures north of the border for a full run at the Fringe. Simon plays role of host and fylm director, introducing top-name special guests every evening to a camera, projector and screen.

Simon and his guests are tasked with performing bespoke, experimental sets to camera, while sat at the back of the room unseen to the audience. The results are playful, highly visual performances incorporating props, live music and multimedia.

Previous guests include Adam Buxton, Kevin Eldon, Josie Long, Rob Delaney, Nina Conti, Alex Horne, Tim Key, Phill Jupitus and John Kearns.

Simon also presents solo show Simon Munnery: And Nothing But. August 6-16, 18-31, 3.30pm The Stand.
