PREVIEW – Simon Munnery – Trials and Tribulations 

Deadline Fringe Previews

TWENTY years ago Simon Munnery was arrested in Edinburgh for “being a German in a built-up area.” Now he’s telling the tale of the trial that followed at the Fringe.

Simon said: “I’ve been mugged three times and arrested once. What a night!”

The British Comedy Award nominee for the first time is not only speaking out about the trial, but also his second court appearance last year – one that followed after four years of a gruelling legal battle

The Guardian describes the comedian as a “perennial Fringe maverick.”
