Born and bred in Brighton, Max Miller, the "Cheeky Chappie", became the UK's highest paid entertainer as the undisputed king of Music Hall. In this remarkable one-man performance, the late John Bardon recreates the persona of Miller with uncanny precision.
From the loud floral suits to the lightning-fast risqué humour, Bardon captures the spark of a man who could hold an audience in the palm of his hand while skating on thin ice with the censors. Originally made for Channel 4, it's part-biography, part-performance, and a sincere love letter to the British seaside variety tradition. This screening at the historic Duke of York’s brings Max back to the very city that shaped his wit. Don’t miss this "one night only" opportunity to witness a masterclass in comedy history that has remained unseen for over forty years!
