Funny Cow charts the rise to stardom of a female comedienne through the 1970’s and 1980’s. It is set against the backdrop of working men’s clubs and the stand-up comedy circuit of the North of England. From her troubled childhood to her turbulent adult relationships, she uses the raw material of her life experiences to bring her unique style of comedy to the stage. A stand-up comedienne in an all-male world, the film delivers tragedy and comedy in equal measure. Maxine Peake has the role of a lifetime and is simply outstanding.
Dir. Adrian Shergold, UK, 2017, 103 mins.
Cast. Maxine Peake, Paddy Considine, Alun Armstrong.
