Johnny Carr, event cinema manager at Vue, said: “We are delighted to bring this exclusive screening to venues across the UK.

“The Sex Life of Bandages is a big screen tribute to an iconic funny-man whose sharp wit and anarchic storytelli­ng is still as hilarious as ever.”

As well as the successful play and series, WallerBrid­ge has written the spy thriller Killing Eve and is currently working on the next James Bond instalment.
