Sat 15th Feb, 7.30pm, £4 advance, £5 on the door
Dir: Mike Birbiglia, 2012, USA, 81 mins, no cert
Winner of multiple awards on the festival circuit, including the NEXT audience award at last year’s Sundance Festival, Mike Birbiglia’s Slepwalk With Me tells the autobiographical story of an aspiring comic with rapid eye movement behaviour disorder. The more he bottles up his frustrations with his personal and profession life, the funnier and more dangerous his sleepwalking episodes become.
Birbiglia succeeds in honestly portraying the life of a stand-up comic where many others have failed, and he does so with a film that is both moving and hilarious.
We loved this film at Sundance London but it has not found a UK distributor, so this could be your only chance to see it on the big screen. It’s certainly the only chance you’ll get to see it preceded by performances from six great stand-up comedians including Jesse Young, George Rigden and Imogen Palmer.
