What would ‘Flash Gordon’ (1980) look like chewed up and spat out by comedians, theatremakers, writers and musicians?
We’ve stuck ‘Flash Gordon’ and some of our favourite performance artists together into a large, rocket-sized blender. Come and see the glorious results!
Watch as our acts distort a Queen-soundtracked campy sci-fi film into something ridiculous, beautiful or unrecognisable for your viewing pleasure. We have entrusted each one of them with a chunk of the film to re-enact, riff around, mash up or explode. There’s no way of telling what will happen.
Cult hit FLIM NITE comes to Sheffield for the second year running to spread its unique brand of mischief and is showing no signs of stopping!
We will not be showing a movie. We will be making a FLIM.
!!! LINE UP TO BE ANNOUNCED !!!
There are THREE open mic slots available! Email us at flimnitesheffield@gmail.com for a slot. Slots are three minutes long and material must be ‘Flash Gordon’-related (the first film only, please). Remember it's flim as in FLIM and nite as in NITE. Got it?
“The group take a hammer to well-known films and smash them into something completely different – think a smorgasbord of musical interludes, a dab of poetry and an added bit of standup comedy. Trust us, it’s unlike any other night around!” - The Skinny
"With all the ramshackle pop-anarchism of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and the warmth, variety and bonhomie of a fringe arts night, FLIM NITE is going from strength to strength and is not to be missed." – NARC
‘Fast becoming one of the city’s best events. If you’ve never been to FLIM NITE, GO!’ – Manchester Wire
