MBA Film Night: Is This Thing On?

Is This Thing On?

Wednesday, 21st October, 2026, 7:30pm. Doors at 7:00pm

The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne

(2025 124 mins 15)

A comedy-drama directed by Bradley Cooper and loosely based on the life of the British comedian, John Bishop. The film follows a middle-aged couple in New York whose twenty-year marriage is ending. Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and impending divorce by seeking purpose in the New York comedy scene while his wife, Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she has made for family. 

“Is This Thing On? starts with a punchline – sad divorced dad stumbles into a bar as a cry for help – and smartly works backward; like a great routine, beneath the jokes lurks something tender, grounded and real.”  Adrian Horton - The Guardian
