Northern Silents - Another Fine Mess: the madcap world of Laurel and Hardy

Northern Silents – Another Fine Mess: The Madcap World of Laurel and Hardy Step back into a golden age of film comedy for a joyous afternoon of slapstick, silliness, and live music. Laurel and Hardy, the eternal optimists of slapstick, are two well‑meaning souls whose every attempt to do the right thing ends in disaster. In *Soup to Nuts* they crash the patience‑testing world of haute‑society waiters; in *Two Tars* a minor fender‑bender spirals into a full‑blown street war, and in *Angora Love* a stray goat follows them home, leaving a chaotic water fight as they try to hide it from their landlord. Perfect for families, film lovers, and anyone in need of a good laugh, this concert film pairs the timeless gags with a snappy, inventive score by UK’s leading improvising silent‑film musicians, pianist Jonny Best and percussionist Trevor Bartlett. Their vibrant live accompaniment has delighted audiences ever since their first collaboration for Laurel and Hardy at Leeds International Film Festival in 2015. Enjoy the madcap world of Laurel and Hardy brought to life by live music – a celebration of comedy that never goes out of style.
