Timeline
Simon Munnery is an English comedian.
After graduating with "a very high third", he did various menial jobs before making his big break into comedy.
He has described praise of his work as implying his work occupies a place between "unfunny comedy" and "shit art".
Munnery had a short-lived career as a video game programmer.
His most famous title was a version of Asteroids for the Commodore International VIC-20 (a game that Jeff Minter once described as a "pile of wank").
He also authored several games for the ZX81 (Road Race, Breakout and Space Invaders) and the ZX Spectrum.
The VIC-20 games he wrote were Asteroids, Cosmiads and Scramble.
While at university, Munnery took part in a stand-up double-act called God and Jesus with Stephen Cheeke.
Munnery was brought to the attention of a comedy community as the compere of a post-alternative comedy cabaret called Cluub Zarathustra performed originally in London and later at the Edinburgh Festival.
During the 1990s he made several series for BBC Radio 1, one based around his League Against Tedium character.
Others were vehicles for his Alan Parker character, including Alan Parker, Alan Parker's 29 Minutes of Truth, and Alan Parker, Road Warrior for which he won the Sony Radio Award.
A television pilot was made of Cluub Zarathustra for Channel 4 in 1996, but was never broadcast.
Munnery 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.
His stand-up is often satirical and political and almost always surreal.
He has performed as characters Alan Parker: Urban Warrior and The League Against Tedium.
Munnery's experimental style is reflected in his makeshift, often elaborate props.
As "The League" he often wore a hat crafted from a kettle, epaulets that contained working model tanks, and shoes covered in roses.
In Buckethead he played a character who performed the entire show with a metal bucket over his head.
Born in Middlesex, Munnery grew up in Bedmond and was educated at Watford Grammar School for Boys, where he earned four A Levels.
He read natural sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge but soon lost interest in science and joined the Footlights.

He also wrote and performed two four-part Radio 4 series called "Where Did It All Go Wrong?", which were broadcast in the summer of 2003 and the spring of 2005.
His 2006 Edinburgh Fringe show, AGM, included the opportunity for the audience to raise questions to discuss as group (such as "is there a God?").
