- **Event Name**: Afternoon with Laurel & Hardy: 2026 Centenary Show
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Following the success of his 2023/24 tour, Neil Brand, the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment, returns to The Apex to celebrate the centenary of Laurel and Hardy with a brand-new show.

Neil’s engaging easy-going style, along with his Q&amp;A at the end of the show makes for a highly entertaining show and he is looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences, and celebrating the life and times of two comedy legends.

In 1926, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy signed separate contracts with Hollywood film mogul Hal Roach and appeared for the first time in a film together, 45 Minutes from Hollywood. The following year they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. Nobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world.

Thanks to new restorations of their silent films, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies, particularly You're Darn Tootin, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years.
