- **Event Description**: Celebrate the centenary of comedy legends, Laurel and Hardy…

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.

Celebrate a 100 years with Neil Brand; the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment.

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.

Currently working on a television documentary and a new book about ‘The Boys’, Neil will share unique insight into Laurel and Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging easy-going style, along with his Q&A at the end of the show, followed by his after-show Meet and Greet, makes for a highly entertaining evening.
