Edinburgh Art Festival Detours: Simon Munnery at Ingleby Gallery

Providing fresh perspectives on visual art, Festival Detours is a series of intimate live performances in Edinburgh's leading galleries by stars from the worlds of music, comedy, theatre, poetry and prose. Each year we invite performers to respond in their own particular way to their favourite artworks featured in the Edinburgh Art Festival programme.
Simon Munnery is a prolific, innovative and risk-taking British comedian who has been presenting new work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe every year since the nineties. In response to the exhibition Ian Hamilton Finlay: Twilight Remembers, Simon presented - amongst other things - a live action and live animation homage to the artist's 1977 film, Carrier Strike, and a venn diagram explaining the relationship between comedy and art.

I'm very new to Simon Munnery. His comedy is sometimes challenging but it really interests me.

It’s the closest comedy gets to modern art.
