Frisky & Mannish: PopCorn

Fringe legends and comedy cabaret superstars Frisky & Mannish present PopCorn, an online cinema-themed musical comedy extravaganza celebrating* great films!

Frisky & Mannish have been slumped on the couch, wolfing through pic’n’mix and repeat-watching favourite movies. FOR RESEARCH. And now they’re bringing you a digital musicalcomedyganza all about the silver screen!

From its sweeping soundtracks and iconic themes to its ludicrous tropes, the silver screen is fertile ground for this acclaimed pair of pop academics. They've rigorously examined the inner workings of truly great films, such as Mrs Doubtfire, Strictly Ballroom, and Lion King 2: Simba's Pride to name but a few. They've explored ideas that directors may not have considered (Scarface is, in fact, much snappier as a musical, FYI). So, this riotous double act are fully prepared to rip apart and redefine cinema as we know it.

Part-movie, part-live show, part-parody, part-love letter to cinema - PopCorn is the digital realisation of everything audiences and critics have come to love about Frisky & Mannish.

Expect the usual pop song tit-aboutery that took them from London’s West End to Sydney Opera House via multiple sellout Edinburgh Fringes. Yes, they’re a “global phenomenon” (The Times) and yes, it’ll be “outlandishly funny” (The Daily Mail).
