TWENTY years ago Simon Munnery was arrested in Edinburgh for “being a German in a built-up area.” Now he’s telling the tale of the trial that followed at the Fringe.
Simon said: “I’ve been mugged three times and arrested once. What a night!”
The British Comedy Award nominee for the first time is not only speaking out about the trial, but also his second court appearance last year – one that followed after four years of a gruelling legal battle.
The Guardian describes the comedian as a “perennial Fringe maverick.”
At the Fringe, Simon will do what he does best – turn all his distressing life occurrences into comedy.
He also promises a song.
The multi-award winner has a stand-up career of 34 years, and he regularly stars in television and radio projects.
Recent film credits include The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, co-starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.
The Scotsman says Simon is “blessed with a ceaselessly inventive comic brain.”
Simon Munnery’s previous comedy shows include Renegade Plumber, Standing Still, 30 Not Out and more.
Don’t miss Trials and Tribulations from 4 August at The Stand Comedy Club.
