This Is Spinal Tap + Air Guitar Competition

Celebrating the rerelease of this iconic mockumentary with a special tribute screening, complete with air guitar competition (strictly optional!) Come join in the fun, and laugh your way through the winter blues with the all-time comedy classic!

This was the big bang moment for cringe comedy and spoof mockumentary whose every superb gag came to be savoured and replayed through its massive 1980s popularity on home video, securing it's international treasure status. Now it is rereleased alongside the Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues, reminding us once again what juvenile masculinity can do for the soul!

A fictional British rock group, Spinal Tap, attempts to mount a comeback by embarking on a US tour, but as time moves on they must confront the fact that they just aren’t as popular as they used to be. Including 'interviews' with each band member and Marty DiBergi, the film-maker who is a diehard fan of the band.

"The film’s satire was so sharp, and its style so much like that of actual rockumentaries, that This Is Spinal Tap was taken as real by many..." - Barry Keith Grant, BFI Screen Guides

"The ultimate Saturday night feel-good movie - it never gets old! Mini-bread catastrophes, pink torpedoes and the legendary Stonehenge set! This one goes up to 11! Nadine Keats, EP Recommmends
