Comedy Combo: Live Stand Up + Grosse Pointe Blank
-
Sat 11 January 2014 // 19:30
(Sat 11th Jan / 7:30pm / £4 advance, £5 door)
(George Armitage / 1997 / USA? / 107 minutes / Certificate 15)
We thought it was about time for some John Cusack love at the Comedy Combo and what better way than with Grosse Pointe Blank – arguably his best post-80s film.
Martin Blank (Cusack) is a hitman with a conscience. Facing an existential crisis he takes time out to attend his high school reunion on the advice of his shrink, where he coincidentally happens to have been contracted to kill someone. With a fantastic cast including Joan Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, Minnie Driver, Alan Arkin, Jeremy Piven and Hank Azaria, and a brilliantly 80s soundtrack by Joe Strummer.
Join us for 90 minutes of stand-up before the film, with sets from Martin Pilgrim, Frankie Doré, Liz Garnett, Luke Mallison, Tash Bartlett and Geraint Evans. Your compère for the evening is Alice Matthews.
