Melt It! The Film of the Iceman +Q&A (15)

Cinema
  • Saturday 19th September 19:45

From producer Michael Cumming (Oxide Ghosts, King Rocker)

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?

Producers: Mark Cartwright & Robert Wringham (You are Nothing / New Escapologist)

“It’s art, it’s odd, it’s fun and you need to see it.”Mark Thomas (Comedian)

“An affectionate and heartfelt celebration of a man who pioneered the idea of melting ice on stage. Immensely charming.”Arthur Matthews (Father Ted / Toast of London)

“This film is n…ice. You must see it. It’s important.”Iain Lee (TV / Radio)
