Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story

Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story explores the extraordinary secret life of artist Chris Sievey, best known as his alter ego Frank Sidebottom, the maverick Northern comedian in a fake head.

Frank Sidebottom, his greatest creation, became a star - a manic, insane, mercurial star burning brightly from within a papier mâché head - a star who obscures his own creator. But who really knew Chris Sievey, the fractured genius underneath the mask? Chris Sievey was a musician, songwriter, artist, comedian, filmmaker, performance artist and wayward genius who created an alter ego that he grew to resent.

First released: Monday 29th April 2019
