Funny Man
Personal recollections of cherished sci-fi and fantasy

Max finally meets the Funny Man. Oh dear.
ARROW MEDIA
The year 1994 was one of the best of my life. I was 23 and somehow getting paid pretty well for writing about PCs and gaming – my two biggest passions. Smoking, boozing and other things were a way of life; Supergrass’ “Alright” genuinely could have been our theme tune.
So when I first saw Funny Man, it was tailormade for me. Here was a very British comedy horror film, made – by a bunch of mates of roughly my age – for a laugh: designed to shock à la Viz, but undoubtedly a passion project with some impressively imaginative visuals.
