SUMMARY:Slapstick Festival - Silent Comedy Gala
DESCRIPTION:Book now\nDownton Abbey\, The Gold and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville introduces a triple bill of laugh-out-loud silent comedy classics\, back in the auditorium where Slapstick began and with each showing on a giant screen with live musical accompaniment. \nTopping the film bill at the Slapstick’s 20th gala will be the double Oscar-nominated THE GOLD RUSH (1925)\, written and directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin as a lone Klondike prospector who discovers it is easier to find trouble than gold\, and featuring a real bear and dancing bread rolls. \nJoining it in the line-up will be the 1922 short COPS which finds an impressively acrobatic Buster Keaton being chased by a city’s entire police force\, and BIG BUSINESS (1929)\, starring Laurel & Hardy as hilariously incompetent Christmas tree salesmen. \nProviding the live musical accompaniment for The Gold Rush will be the 16-piece Bristol Ensemble\, conducted by Günter A. Buchwald\, with pianist John Sweeney accompanying COPS and Günter and Frank Bockius playing for Big Business. \nThere will also be pre-interval entertainment from Cheryl Knight\, giving excerpts from her Joyce Grenfell tribute show which proved such a hit at Slapstick 2023 and\, in the foyer before curtain-up\, the Bristol-based Shanghai Shuffle jazz band performing tunes from the silent film era. \nFoyer entertainment from 6pm from Shanghai Shuffle.
