SUMMARY:100 Years Of Laurel & Hardy
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of his 2023/24 tour\, Neil Brand invites you to celebrate the centenary of Laurel and Hardy with a brand-new show. In 1926\, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy signed separate contracts with Hollywood film mogul Hal Roach\, and appeared for the first time in a film together\, 45 Minutes From Hollywood. The following year they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. Nobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world. \nWe are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s 100 Years Of Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment. \nThanks to new restorations of their silent films\, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies\, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages\, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies\, particularly You’re Darn Tootin\, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years. \nNeil’s concerts have proved really popular with his personal contact with the audience and his unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging easy-going style\, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience\, followed by his after-show Meet and Greet\, makes for a highly entertaining evening. \nCurrently working on a television documentary and a new book about The Boys\, Neil is once again looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences around the country\, and celebrating the life and times of comedy legends\, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

SUMMARY:Jen Brister: Reactive
DESCRIPTION:Jen Brister is Reactive – or so she’s been told. Apparently you don’t have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general\, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest… \nJen is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer\, as seen on BBC’s Live at the Apollo\, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order\, QI and Mock The Week. Following a sold out 2022 tour\, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show.
