Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (2018)

Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story: Directed by Steve Sullivan. With Johnny Vegas, Ross Noble, John Cooper Clarke, Chris Sievey. It’s a documentary about the life of eccentric comedian Frank Sidebottom who wore a huge papier-mache’ head and whose true identity was a closely guarded secret until after he died. The 2014 Magnolia Pictures film titled Frank was inspired by his sensational mystery.

“I was one of the u0026#39;backersu0026#39; (bit of a mogul you see) of this 7 years or so ago and have been eagerly awaiting the final flick ever since. There have been regular email updates from the director Steve in that time and the passion and effort that has gone in to it is staggering. Now having seen it myself I found it to be interesting, funny and touching and Iu0026#39;m even more grateful that I had the pleasure of meeting Frank (not Chris unfortunately) on the Magical Timperley Tour a decade ago, with my since passed old man. Itu0026#39;s not bobbins at all and Iu0026#39;d recommend it completely to fans and non fans alike.”
