Paul Merton's Silent Clowns

Spring 2009 Tour

JOIN PAUL MERTON AS HE SCREENS HILARIOUS EXTRACTS FROM THE VERY BEST SILENT COMEDIANS IN SOME OF THEIR FUNNIEST FILMS.

Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd and many others are presented by Paul, whose infectious enthusiasm and knowledge of these films means a splendid time is guaranteed for all.

And then, Buster Keaton's uproariously funny 'Seven Chances'* is shown in its entirety.

With fantastic live accompaniment by world renowned pianist Neil Brand.

"Go marvel" Daily Telegraph

"...lovers of slapstick comedy (are) in for a treat." Newbury Today

"Extracts from Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and numerous other classics frequently had the (audience) in hysterics... Merton's show highlights what a refreshing change this type of humour can be" NG magazine

"...assisted by the thrilling wit and polish of Brand's lightning-fingered accompaniment, the sheer finesse of each successive slapstick selection works its magic on the audience and the laughter flows more and more freely." Daily Telegraph

An unmissable family show for anyone over the age of 9.

*Please note the film 'Seven Chances' will replace the showing of 'Steamboat Bill Junior' as previously advertised.
