ART OF CRIME//CRIME OF ART: WHAT'S DONE IS DUNN
A Q&A WITH TOMMY DUNN - THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF PRANKS.
~
'The best performance artist of his generation' – Damien Hirst
'If anyone in Manchester has a story worth telling it's Tommy Dunn, whose lived it to the full and still here to tell the tale.' – Ian Brown
'You'd think a man of his age would have something better to do.' – Noel Gallagher.
In 2002, serial prankster Tommy Dunn was the subject of a CH4 documentary called 'Britain's Favourite Hoaxer' with his then stunt accomplice Karl 'Fat Neck' Power. A comedy classic that plays out with all the tensions of a thriller, it reignited the dying art form that was the great British prank.
Running rings around the authorities with heist-like planning, when Tommy started plotting these audacious acts and then later obsessively filming them over 25 years ago, little did he know that he was at the forefront of a visual revolution.
Now a folk hero for a generation of YouTube and TikTok hoaxers and pranksters, join us as he takes us on a journey through his vast personal archive of footage.
It's all here: from the infamous Man Utd-Munich stunt in 2001 to last years 'BBC sex noise' prank with an imprisoned dog at Crufts in between. And more. So much more.
Catch him if you can.
Q&A will be followed by karaoke.
