Comedy preview: Simon Munnery's AGM 2009, Edinburgh

Simon Munnery's best comedy - whether he's urging the masses to revolution against non-specific oppressors as Alan Parker Urban Warrior, or reeling off ice-cold one-liners in the guise of fascist aesthete The League Against Tedium - mixes overblown characters with hilarious, wildly inappropriate content. Turning your yearly Edinburgh show into a self-proclaimed Annual General Meeting is a similar kind of joke. The staid formality of a typical corporate AGM is light years away from Munnery's approach to the world, which is instinctively maverick. Now in its sixth year, Munnery's AGM is an occasionally scholarly but at all times thoroughly surreal ragbag containing whatever's crossed his mind in the last 12 months. The audience are invited to submit motions on any subject for the consideration of the room.
