Laurel and Hardy | Double Bill

BSL-English supported event

The boys in bowlers are back! Join us for a glorious afternoon in the company of the world’s best-loved comedy team.  A double-bill this year, we begin with Angora Love. An escaped goat attaches itself to Stan, requiring the pair to go to great – if ineffectual – lengths to keep it concealed from their short-fused landlord (played by regular Laurel and Hardy side-kick Edgar Kennedy). This was the last silent film Stan and Ollie made together before moving into the talkies, refashioning the hilarious premise two years later with the scenario for Laughing Gravy, but with a dog instead of a goat. 

Our second film is Bacon Grabbers in which the pair must serve papers on the expertly evasive Mr. Kennedy (Edgar again).  Joyous and packed with perfectly timed gags – this archetypal Laurel and Hardy gem is just the ticket for guaranteed belly laughs!

 

Dir. Lewis R. Foster / US / 1929 / U / 20m x 2
