Simon Munnery: Fylm Makker

It was clear from the outset that if you came to Simon Munnery's Fylm Makker expecting a laugh-out-loud conventional stand up routine, you are in the wrong place. 

In true Munnery style, he delivers the show from the back of the room crouched at a desk behind a makeshift cardboard box with a camera on himself, which projects his face onto the screen at the front. The gags he delivers by projecting rough cartoon sketches and DIY cardboard puppets onto the screen catches a few laughs but doesn't allow his live film performance to commit to or develop any particular idea or theme.

The English comedy writer clearly intends to be experimental, but the non-linear design of the performance is overly conceptual, and seems to polarise the audience. There is a clear divide between those who think it is genius, and those who think it is simply unpolished.
