We've got THREE pairs of tickets to offer to this hilarious evening celebrating the original comedy titans!
Neil Brand, composer, writer, broadcaster and musician heads to Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre with his all-new show about the immortal comedy duo Laurel and Hardy on Thursday 16 November (7.45pm start).
Neil is acclaimed as the leading world expert on silent film and silent comedy, with his original composed music.
He has been invited to appear and perform around the world in over 30 countries, appearing at major film festivals and theatres with his unique insight into the birth of the early film industry and the geniuses involved.
Laurel and Hardy, of course, were the British-American comedy duo who ruled the golden silent era of Hollywood and managed to continue their popularity with the arrival of ‘talkies’.
From the late 1920’s to the mid 1950’s their slapstick comedy captivated the world. Appearing in over 100 films together, these titans of comedy were unstoppable.
From their earliest days on opposite sides of the Atlantic in Music Hall and on the stage, to their individual comedy films before they were paired up by Hal Roach, and on to their silent masterpieces before the arrival of sound, Neil will tell the touching story of the world’s greatest comedy team, who could not have been two more different men!
Fully illustrated with stills, clips (both silent and sound) and Neil’s superlative piano accompaniment, culminating in two of the Boys’ best silent short films, Big Business and Liberty, this is a show that promises gales of laughter throughout, as well as getting under the skin of two warm, funny men who continue to make the world laugh.
