Slapstick 2009’s Comedy Gala of classic silent comedy, laughter and entertainment is once again hosted by Paul Merton who will present the world première of a new live improvised “score “ to Buster Keaton’s comedy of errors Our Hospitality (1923) by The Prima Vista Social Club, a five-piece ensemble of the finest musicians for silent cinema in Europe. Keaton’s comic genius is evident throughout this boisterous satire of family feuds and Southern codes of honour, featuring some brilliant sight gags and a hilarious train journey. The evening will also include a selection of Paul’s favourite short comedies including Liberty (1929), Laurel & Hardy’s classic caper, which sees the pair on the run from the law.
