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 a character who performs with a metal bucket over his head.
==Early life==
Born in Middlesex, Munnery grew up in Bedmond, Hertfordshire and Watford and was educated Watford Grammar School for Boys, where he earned four A Levels.〔(WGSB Famous Old Boys )〕 He read natural sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge but soon lost interest in science and joined the Footlights. In 1987, he became vice-president with Peter Bradshaw as president.〔(Munnery's the word )〕 After graduating with "a very high third", he did various menial jobs before making his big break into comedy. He describes his work as occupying a place between "unfunny comedy" and "shit art".
Munnery had a short lived career as a video game programmer. His most famous title was a version of ''Asteroids'' for the Commodore International VIC-20 (a game that Jeff Minter once described as a "pile of wank"). He also authored several games for the ZX81. The ZX81 games he wrote: ''Road Race'', ''Breakout'' and ''Space Invaders''. The VIC-20 games he wrote: ''Asteroids'', ''Cosmiads'' and ''Scramble''.
