The
Big Tease is a 1999
American comedy film starring Craig Ferguson, directed by Kevin Allen, and written
by Ferguson and Sacha Gervasi. Ferguson
plays Crawford Mackenzie, a Scottish hairdresser who, while being filmed as part of a
fly-on-the-wall BBC documentary, is invited to the World Hairdresser
International Federation annual contest. The documentary team (with Chris
Langham playing the interviewer) follows Crawford to L.A., where he discovers
that his invitation is to be a member of the audience rather than a competitor.
He eventually weasels his way into the contest and produces the greatest
creation of his career.
