Simon Munnery as 'Alan Parker Urban Warrior' on Viva Cabaret, 1993

Another bit of vintage Munnery, this from the short lived c4 series 'Viva Cabaret', which ran from 1993 to, er, 1993.

Amazing how this guy was channelling James Acaster even in 1993

[@pigknickers]

Such a clever comedian.

[@whiteanklesocksable]

OMG OMG OMG! Thank you so much for uploading this clip!! Alan Parker Urban Warrior is my HERO.

[@alexichimp365]

Fanks for posting!

[@rootsquare]

2:10 the DHSS/DSS/SS gag... is my one of favourite gags of all time...

[@adammchugh5456]

Saw Simon tonight, he was so funny. I watched this 30 years ago, what??

[@newidae1]

Did Russell Brand copy this act, without realizing the irony?

[@kevinrichards460]

I imagine he adopted a radical solution to a radical problem 😉

[@NickSheridanVids]

Patiently waiting for Simon to revive this character

[@unearnedreservations]

Still (occasionally) does it! I saw it this year in Edinburgh.

[@NickSheridanVids]

Indeed. Just doesn't seem to tour it. I nearly paid £80+ just to go see it in London

[@osianmuhammad]

Done! @@NickSheridanVids

[@NickSheridanVids]

@@osianmuhammad I know! Super excited and actually quite cheap (although time consuming) for me to pop up to Edinburgh to see him 😁

[@leeray666]

Brilliant.

[@pardenwho5507]

This is fantastic! He could be the absolutely brilliant and well thought out, but there were times Simon could be too experimental for his own good.

[@J8neSez]

i love munnery! woohoo league against tedium!

[@LordGoatAlmighty]

2:39 perfectly angled Clashlegs proving Alan is still the most left wing man in the pub

[@roottoot1278]

I remember his routine in either the Melody Maker or NME in the early 90s.

[@Schizopantheist]

"Cheers, goodnight, and don't go back to your old values." Classic closing line, people who don't get this character probably never met a more-radical-than-thou anarchist or SWP revolutionary twat at uni, its on the money..

[@Polemicist0]

These radically right-on political activists are, nowadays, usually members of either Extinction Rebellion or the Class War anarchist / anti-capitalist movement. I use to vaguely know a girl at university, during the early 1990's, who was utterly infatuated with all this Marxist ideology and other ultra left-wing feminist, politically correct rubbish. Just last month I actually managed to track her Facebook account down, and she, now, apparently holds a fairly senior position for a BlackRock hedge fund.

[@Nickersons-Theme]

I can see traces of this in James Acaster 🤔

[@agraysey]

4:06 for the Big Show..

[@Amethyst_Friend]

Pretty damn funny

[@hufclufc]

Alan, when you mixed up the backing backing vocal to the song "Greed" I taped it and have played it many times. I can now sing the backing vovals just like you did after many years of practice.,,,,,,,,, " I want MORRRRRE!" See?

[@jodystarks6936]

I loved that song and have looked for that version so many times!

[@diskochimp]

Radical problems, radical solutions.

[@ElMufro]

[@sexymuthafunka8240]

I often wonder though . . . . . "What were the skies like when he was young?"
