Slapstick Silent Comedy Festival Gala Opening Night

Something ALMOST Completely Different
with very special guest Michael Palin
Hosted by Graeme Garden

Bristol's Slapstick Silent Comedy Festival invites you to a star-studded evening of classic comedy and live entertainment for its Sixth Slapstick Gala.

This unique event presents two great comedy icons. Comedy legend and and national treasure Michael Palin will be on stage to discuss his illustrious career in comedy, with fellow writer performer Graeme Garden.

On screen - in homage to Michael's travelling legacy - we present one of Buster Keaton's greatest comedies THE NAVIGATOR (1924), with the world premiere of a live musical accompaniment by The Slapstick Boys.

This newly- formed five-piece musical ensemble features Oscar-winning film animator and cornet virtuoso Richard Williams and world-acclaimed silent film maestro Günter Buchwald on violin and piano, along with their international friends.

With other celebrity guests on stage and on screen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event not to be missed! Early booking is recommended to avoid dissapointment.
