Stephen K. Amos dives deeper into his admiration for Mel Brooks as he introduces the film he considers his all-time favourite comedy: Blazing Saddles (1974). This Mel Brooks classic stars Cleavon Little as a Black sheriff, appointed by a scheming villain intent on destroying a town, only to prove himself a worthy adversary. The film bursts with both physical and verbal comedy, powered by a stellar supporting cast including Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, and Madeline Kahn (who earned an Oscar nomination for her performance).

With Stephen’s knack for audience engagement, attendees may find themselves invited to challenge or defend his top comedy pick in a brief post screening Q+ A.
