It’s 80 years since Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made their transition
from silent to sound film and Bristol's Slapstick Silent Comedy
Festival celebrates their extraordinary onscreen legacy with a special
live gala evening of film and music hosted by award winning writer and
comedian Sanjeev Bashkaer
Best known for his work on Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars at No
42, Sanjeev has selected his favourite Stan and Ollie sound comedies
to delight audiences including their Oscar winning classic THE MUSIC
BOX (1932), in which the boys play removal men trying to deliver a
piano up a monumental flight of stairs!
Other highlights include a capella vocal group The Matinee Idles and a
special appearance from original Our Gang member and child performer
with Stan and Ollie - Hollywood legend Jean Darling.
Plus the world premiere of a newly commissioned orchestral score from
maestro Günter Buchwald for the Laurel and Hardy’s classic silent
comedy DOUBLE WHOOPEE (1929), featuring Jean Harlow in her screen
debut and accompanied by the fabulous Emerald Ensemble.
The best of Laurel and Hardy on the big screen with one of Britain's
best loved comic performers. Let the mayhem begin!
