Three film classics starring the greatest double-act of all time, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, which find the duo accompanied by various animal companions. 

Wrong Again (1929)

After spotting a substantial reward, stable hands Stan and Ollie attempt to return a stolen steed to its wealthy owner in a rarely seen silent classic.

The Chimp (1932)

When their circus unexpectedly goes bust, Stan and Ollie need somewhere to stay. But with former co-worker Ethel The Gorilla in tow, who’ll take them in?

Laughing Gravy (1931)

With a strict no pets policy at their winter lodgings, can the boys keep their canine companion hidden from the grumpy landlord (Charlie Hall)?

 

Introduced by John Ullah, Grand Sheik of The Laughing Gravy Tent (the Birmingham branch of the Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society), and author of This Is More Than I Can Stand, the biography of Laurel and Hardy co-star Charlie Hall, who was born in Ward End, Birmingham.

A Birmingham Comedy Festival presentation in association with The Laughing Gravy Tent.
