Paul Merton’s Silent Clowns – SOLD OUT

Sun 1 Dec 2024 @ 14:30 · Events

Seven ChancesPaul MertonPaul Merton makes a welcome return to The Cinema Museum introducing three films by his comedy heroes – Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy.

In Seven Chances (1925), Buster Keaton plays a man who learns that he will inherit the family fortune – but only if he marries by 7pm that evening. The Pawnshop (1916) is one of  Chaplin’s most popular shorts, famous for the sequence in which he destroys a client’s alarm clock. Laurel and Hardy are fugitives from prison in Liberty (1929). Their attempts to exchange trousers end up with them at the top of an unfinished skyscraper.

“And at the piano, Colin Sell”. The famed pianist, who has been tinkling the ivories on I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue for thirty years, will be providing live piano accompaniment.

Doors open at 14.00, for a 14.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
