	The League Against Tedium Interview - 1
		And thus you are introduced to the mind and works of The League Against Tedium, a techno-freak and one-man tinpot loon, the master of 99 languages and the inventor of 98, who wields a Sword of Truth and Shield of Irony with deadly skill and poise.

		This is what former Perrier nominee Simon Munnery, the man behind Nietzschean über-twerp The League Against Tedium and class warrior Alan Parker, has been reduced to - performing with a bucket on his head.
		Is this perhaps because Munnery ended his Fringe two years ago in a cell in St Leonard’s police station and had to stand trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court months later for allegedly causing a breach of the peace and assaulting a police officer?
		Munnery ended up on the wrong arm of the law after taking part in Arthur Smith’s semi-legendary Alternative Tour Of The Royal Mile - a regular late-night fixture on both the Fringe calendar and that of Lothian and Borders Police.

	Hairline - Simon Munnery
		Simon Munnery has returned to the Fringe this year with two new shows (the other being Buckethead at the Assembly Rooms), although this isn’t so much a show; more a series of apparently unprepared ramblings which Munnery attempts to assemble in some kind of order.
		For the first half hour, Munnery gave the impression that he didn’t really want to be there, and although he kept us entertained, there was a feeling that he might leave if we upset him.
		Munnery has built up a dedicated group of followers, which pretty much guarantees a decent turnout for all his shows, and, although he loses interest every now and then, he always manages to claw his way back, even if it is by resorting to slapstick stories of him falling off stage.

		FOR MORE THAN 12 years Simon Munnery has been garnering a reputation as the comic's comic, admired and respected by contemporaries and critics alike, and beloved of audiences on the live comedy circuit, but always at a distance from the mainstream.
		Attention Scum is the first television incarnation of Munnery's Nietzschean alter ego, the League Against Tedium, who travels the land in a modified transit van denouncing the mediocrity of the masses in pithy, gnomic aphorisms.
		The League began life in 1994 as part of a cabaret act, Cluub Zarathustra, went on to win acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe and various London venues, and in 1999 was nominated for a Perrier Award.

	Hairline - Simon Munnery: Trilogy - Sherlock Holmes: A Monologue
		Despite a somewhat rocky start, Munnery settles into his material, which is genuinely very funny and convinces the audience that he would make a very credible Sherlock if there were ever any call for a replacement.
		His second monologue is read as the character Heinrich Prich, who’s pedantic ramblings on setting the world to rights seem to have been less of a chore to write than the Sherlock Holmes material.
		This character seems to have been born out of Munnery’s previous work and his love of the absurd, and his observations on everyday life and human behaviour are sometimes poignant, quite often unsettling, but always very very funny.

		Simon has performed an extensive study - striking nearly every railing he has come across during the five -week â€˜Johnson and Boswell: Late but liveâ€™ tour - and recording the results on a small camera.
		Simon has taken up the guitar recently, then put it down again, then picked it up again, and so on, hoping by a process analogous to osmosis he might learn to play.

	Live comedy review: Stewart Lee: 41st Best Stand Up Ever, with Simon Munnery and Johnny Vegas
		This first show in a series of five at UCL’s Bloomsbury Theatre, then, was advertised as featuring Simon Munnery and a “Mystery Star”, “so damned famous that he cannot and will not be named”, with Lee himself compèring.
		Simon Munnery - or rather his alter ego, angry not-so-young man Alan Parker Urban Warrior - is a fine performer, and quite capable of carrying a show on his own, but next to the feline, unflappable Lee his shouty, aggressive style seemed uncouth, almost attention-seeking.
		To give Munnery his due, the audience were generally on his side, and his lengthy skit about masturbation (“I’m a wanker.

	Simon Munnery
		Simon Munnery is probably best known for his comic creations Alan Parker the Urban Warrior and The League Against Tedium.
		Munnery can be very funny but he can also be baffling in a Spike Milligan kind of way; Milligan was widely regarded as a comedy genius, and as with Munnery I am willing to concede that at times I just don't get it.
		Munnery remains both a disarming and unsettling performer.
