Also known as ‘The League Against Tedium’, is a British comedy writer and experimental 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. Munnery’s experimental style is reified through his sartorial appearance: his tragically unfashionable glasses, homemade clothes (or clothes apparently donated to him by comedian Jeff Green), giant animated hats, and dramatic facial hair. As ‘The League’ he often dons a hat crafted from a kettle and one of his standup shows is performed entirely with a metal bucket over his head. His standup is perhaps best described as often satirical, often political and almost always surreal. Munnery plays harmonica and his dialogue is full of quotable remarks, inviting comparison with Oscar Wilde.
