#13Simon Munnery: Trials and Tribulations

Movie - 2023, 2h 15m • as Self

8.8 / 10
Comedy

ā€œI’ve been mugged three times and arrested once. What a night!ā€ Twenty years ago, in Edinburgh, legendary comedian Simon Munnery was arrested for ā€œbeing a German in a built-up areaā€. It wasn’t an early brush with ā€˜cancel culture’ but it did lead to a trial. For the first time, British Comedy Award nominee, serial innovator and ā€˜Perennial fringe maverick’ (Guardian), Simon Munnery tells the tale of this trial, as well as his second court appearance last year, one that only came about after four years of a gruelling legal battle (or possibly an administrative backlog). Well, it worked for Lenny Bruce. Simon will also seek to turn various other distressing life occurrences into comedic gold. And there will probably be a song.

#16Simon Munnery: Fylm Makker

Movie - 2013, 2h 15m • as Fylm Makker

8.8 / 10

'Do as thou wishest, I am a fylm makker, you a film maker, make what you can from my residues, tis no concern of I' ...is what Simon Munnery said when we asked him if we could release a recording of his Fylm Makking experiments. In these shows, Simon never appears on stage. Instead he sits in the audience behind a box of tricks that can display his face, the table or both. From here he contrives to make live films - or Fylms - which are projected on a big screen at the front of the theatre. What you see on the DVD is exactly what the audiences saw on their big screen.

Movie - 2015, 2h 15m • as Self

8.8 / 10

This film follows Nina as she trains as a giggle doctor with Theodora Children's Charity, beginning with her trying to find her clown persona, who might be Scottish... or might not. Devastated by the discovery that Monkey can only perform in hospitals if he can be boil-washed, Nina tries to go it alone with only a red nose, a few misshapen balloon animals and some slightly disappointing magic tricks. Not to mention her professional snobbery rearing up as she finds herself turning into a baby-voiced children's entertainer. Then there are the difficulties she encounters when faced with clown phobia. Following her directorial debut with Her Master's Voice which won a Grierson Award and a BAFTA nomination, Nina Conti brings us another frank and intimate documentary about her eventful two-year stint as a hospital clown. Join her to discover whether Nina raised a laugh amongst sick children or whether she cried the tears of a clown.
