Simon Munnery

Who is Simon Munnery?

Simon Munnery, also known as his characters "Alan Parker: Urban Warrior" and "The League Against Tedium", is an English standup comedian. He performs mainly to an alternative audience but has pierced the mainstream both with his BBC Radio 1 show in 1997 and his BBC2 television series Attention Scum! in 2001. His stand-up is often satirical and political and almost always surreal. His act also contains harmonica playing.

Munnery's experimental style is reflected in his makeshift props. As "The League" he often wears a hat crafted from a kettle, and in one of his stand-up shows he plays character who performs with a metal bucket over his head.
