Colour Box: Slapstick Saturday

Think silent comedy is just for adults? Think again.

In this programme of the funniest slapstick shorts from the silent era, we’ll see Buster Keaton pulling off gravity-defying stunts that would make a modern CGI artist sweat, while Laurel & Hardy turn the simplest tasks into total, glorious disasters. These masters of mayhem prove you don’t need dialogue to be the funniest people on the planet.

With live piano accompaniment from the incredible Meg Morley, this is a rare chance to experience silent comedy exactly as it was meant to be seen (and heard) - with a room full of giggling families.
