Melt It! The Film Of The Iceman + Q&A
About Melt It! The Film Of The Iceman + Q&A
In the 1980s and 1990s, Anthony Irvine was a comedian and cabaret performer. His act was a little unusual. As the Iceman, he went on stage… to melt ice. Literally. He’d bring a large block of ice onto the stage then try to melt it (or fail to melt it) in a variety of creative ways. Among his fans were Mike Myers, Stewart Lee and Bill Bailey.
In 2010, when Robert Wringham wrote his book about this era of comedy, the Iceman could not be found. But a few years later, Anthony Irvine popped up again, this time as a visual artist called Aim. What was going on?
The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with author Robert Wringham and director Mark Cartwright.
