Back in January 2018, stand up comedian and writer Lee Mack joined Slapstick Festival at Colston Hall to present his "Laurel and Hardy Classics" - a unique evening of hilarious extracts, comedy, music and film devoted to the greatest comedy double act of all time. The star of long-running BBC sitcom ‘Not Going Out’ and ‘Would I Lie to You?’ team captain had chosen a selection of his favourite Laurel & Hardy classics, which he introduced and then screened for a packed auditorium. One of the many highlights of the night was a complete screening of the boys' classic silent comedy, LIBERTY (1929), which also featured the world premiere of a new semi-improvised score from composer Guenter A. Buchwald, performed live by the European Silent Screen Virtuosi, who also included Romano Todesco, Frank Bockius and Marc Roos.
