FLIM NITE presents Matilda (Manchester)

What would ‘Matilda’ look like chewed up and spat out by comedians, theatremakers, writers and musicians?

Our artists have baked a cake containing their sweat, blood and also 1996 children’s film ‘Matilda’ and stuck it in the oven. Come and see the glorious results!

Watch as our acts distort a Danny DeVito-directed fantasy-comedy family 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.

FLIM NITE is a monthly experimental performance night based at Three Minute Theatre in Manchester's Northern Quarter. We’re in our fifth year and 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 flimnitemanchester@gmail.com for a slot. Slots are three minutes long and material must be ‘Matilda’-related. 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
