Neil Brand Presents: Silent Comedy Triple Bill

Duration: 2h
Dates: Fri 2 May 2025 19:30

The three greatest silent comedians come together for one awesome show presented by piano dynamo and much-loved broadcaster Neil Brand.

Charlie Chaplin’s classic The Rink features the Tramp working as a waiter in a high-class restaurant and bunking off to the roller-skating rink in his spare time, where he gets involved with a beautiful skater and a philandering villain, culminating in the roller-chase of all time!

Buster Keaton’s The High Sign involves Buster looking for work on the beach boardwalk and unwittingly ending up as a paid assassin for a bunch of crooks. The final chase through the walls and floors of a two-storey house has to be seen to be believed!

Harold Lloyd’s Never Weaken sees our bespectacled hero clinging to a high building after attempting suicide on mistakenly believing his girlfriend loves another – high above Los Angeles, he must use his wits to dodge girders and cranes as he attempts to get back to her from a half-built skyscraper!

These comedy shorts represent the Golden Age of silent comedy and are a guaranteed laugh-maker for the whole family. Neil Brand presents, telling the stories behind these iconic slapstick classics and accompanies on the piano in his inimitable style.
