Event description
Join us for a special screening in the run up to Washy Comedy Festival, as comedy legend Ben Crompton introduces one of his favourite films – the hugely underrated action-comedy thriller Midnight Run.
Bounty hunter Robert De Niro has to deliver accountant Charles Grodin to the mob in an action packed race against the clock. But others are hot on their tail. One of the most unexpected and best double acts in cinema, De Niro and Grodin will have you rooting for them all the way as they take planes, trains and automobiles to make the Midnight Run.
Ben Crompton is an actor and stand up comedian. TV and film credits include IDEAL, Man Stroke Woman, Rebecca, Pramface, Strike, Lockwood & Co and Bad Tidings. He is best known for playing Dolorous Edd in Game Of Thrones.
Art Centre Washington’s film programme is supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network.
