Neil Brand invites you to celebrate the centenary of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world. In this brand new show from Neil Brand, the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment, Neil shares his expertise and unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. Thanks to new restorations of their silent films, and the rediscovery of some of Laurel and Hardy’s 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 Neil is so famous. Neil’s engaging easy-going style, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience, makes for a highly entertaining evening.
