We are thrilled to have Martin Freeman, star of The Office, Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy and many other critically acclaimed roles joining us for the evening.
The multiple award-winning comedian and actor Harry Enfield is the latest star to join the line-up for next February’s 20th birthday edition of the UK’s biggest festival of screen comedy, Slapstick.
I can hardly believe it’s been 21 years since we first set out to share the magic of silent and visual comedy with audiences in Bristol and beyond.
