Simon Munnery: Alan Parker, Urban Warrior: Farewell Tour

Date: Thursday, Mar 5 2020
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Comedy Box at the Hen & Chicken Studio

British Comedy Award nominee, Perrier Award nominee, Sony Radio Award winner and Chortle Award winner reprises his notorious alter ego, the bedsit anarchist Alan Parker Urban Warrior.

Once the most radical, now the only radical, Alan returns with the old gold, the old truths, and some new truths (based on the old truths).

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 BBC Radio 1 series, which Time Out called ‘the funniest thing on Radio One’ and a residency on ITV’s Saturday Live.

“Gloriously inept radical anorak” The Times

“Munnery’s parody of a punk rock anarcho snowflake, hand drawn with real love for its subject, returns to a world worse than any he could have imagined in his home decade of the 1980s” Stewart Lee

March 5, 8pm, £14.
