Cinebiografia do artista inglês Louis Wain, que viveu entre 1860-1939 e é mais conhecido por seus desenhos, que consistentemente apresentavam gatos e gatinhos antropomorfizados de olhos grandes. Em seus últimos anos, ele pode ter sofrido de esquizofrenia (embora alguns especialistas contestem essa afirmação), o que, segundo alguns psiquiatras, pode ser visto em suas obras.
“I went to a funeral the other day. Caught the wreath…” That’s what came to me, from the mysterious source of the inexplicable. Hear the story of the joke, the painting, and what happened next. This show was recorded in the hot and sweaty Bill Murray comedy pub in January 2020. It includes a rather splendid after the credits section, and a cool video extra too.

O violento reinado de dois dos mais notórios gangsteres de Londres, Billy Hill (Leo Gregory) e Jack 'Spot' Comer (Terry Stone), a lendária ascensão e queda de um império criminoso que durou até a meados dos anos 50 e que abriu o caminho para o notório Kray Twins e The Richardsons
A new hour of stand-up and miscellany from Award winning Simon Munnery. Featuring tales of plumbing woes, his attempts at under tent heating, jokes, songs, poems and the ridicule of capitalism. Featuring a newly extended version of his classic supermarket medley.
Simon returns once again to what he does, being himself for an hour. He will consider The Absurdity of Houses, lament The Neo-Con Con, perform The New Can-Can, extol The Joy of Washing-Up and generally tell it like it is, was, and might be if we could but get our fingers out. All rise.
Fylm Makker
Simon's back with an all new show based on his remarkable Fylm makking contraption, accompanied on the guitar by Mr David Willis. The show is his second live film (or Fylm) - rendered on the spot by a homemade device operated by Simon from the back of the room. With it, he manipulates his own image and that of various animation cutouts on the table in front of him to create his Fylm which is then projected onto a big screen at the front of the theatre. You will see what the audience saw as they sat and watched the show.
Camera Operator
'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.

Additional Writing
The Antics Roadshow is a celebration of the pranksters, hoaxers, jokers, activists and stunt merchants who use public space for their own unauthorised ends. This film brings together a wide range of individuals with all sorts of motivations, who have all hijacked the public arena to make a noise, be it for comedic, artistic or political ends, and have all done so using a variety of illicit and eccentric methods, which the audience should probably not try at home.
Himself
It is an honour to present to you Simon Munnery's long awaited live DVD. It’s an amazing performance of over an hour and a half of standup, stories, songs and poems, accompanied from time to time by Mac on drums. Alan Parker Urban Warrior is here, as is Sherlock Holmes, and the Security Guard makes a welcome reappearance with three new jokes.
Bird
A man in a canary outfit sits at the edge of a cliff behind a small desk.
