Exclusive "Tiny Tim: King for a Day" Documentary Film Screening set for November 18

Tiny Tim: King for a Day
An Exclusive Documentary Film Screening
7:30PM, Thursday, November 18
.
The Woman's Club of Minneapolis
410 Oak Grove St, Minneapolis, MN
The very place where Tiny Tim took his last breath! 

 

Sue McLean & Associates, The Woman's Club of Minneapolis and Sound Unseen present the first in-person Minnesota premiere screening of the new documentary TINY TIM: KING FOR A DAY at the historic Woman's Club, the iconic site of Tiny Tim's last performance and ultimately his last breath. The film is not currently available for streaming, and this will be Minnesotans only chance to see the film on the big screen with a live audience. 

TINY TIM: KING FOR A DAY delivers exclusive access to Tiny Tim's diaries, which tell the story of one of the oddest starts the world has ever seen. A life of struggle; against his skeptical parents, hostile neighbors, booing audiences, and his battle with mental illness. Also, Tiny's fanatical belief: "One day I will be famous!"

The film, helmed by Swedish director and writer Johan von Sydow and narrated by renowned comedy musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, features rare footage and interviews with Tiny Tim's Minnesota friends and family. This includes his third wife, "Miss Sue," who stood by his side on the evening of November 30, 1996, when he collapsed during his performance at The Woman's Club and drew his final breath. Hosting the film screening at this location will be a rare and unique experience for superfans and newbies alike. Additionally, there may be the opportunity to hear from Woman's Club members that were present the night of Tim's final performance that fateful night.
