Another Fine Mess: the madcap world of Laurel and Hardy
Jonny Best, piano and Trevor Bartlett, percussion - The Stoller Hall
Program Info: Step back into a golden age of film comedy for a joyous afternoon of slapstick, silliness, and live music
The Films Laurel and Hardy are the eternal optimists of slapstick — two well‑meaning souls whose every attempt to do the right thing somehow ends in disaster.
In Soup to Nuts, they bungle as waiters at an upper‑class party. In Two Tars, a minor fender‑bender spirals into a full‑blown street war. And in Angora Love, a stray goat follows them home, leading to a chaotic water fight as they try to keep it hidden from their landlord.
Perfect for families, film lovers, and anyone in need of a good laugh.
The Music Pianist Jonny Best and percussionist Trevor Bartlett are among the UK’s leading improvising silent‑film musicians. Their snappy, inventive soundtracks for slapstick comedy have delighted audiences ever since they first joined forces to play Laurel and Hardy at Leeds International Film Festival in 2015.
