Travel back in time for an afternoon of film and music featuring some of the greatest names in 1920s comedy. Chaplin returns home from a boozy night out… but where’s the bed? Harold Lloyd performs daredevil stunts, Stan and Ollie attempt to sell Christmas trees in California, whilst Buster Keaton and his new bride struggle to assemble their wonderful wedding gift – a house! John Lenehan will perform his own scores, arrangements of music from the period and improvisation – all methods adopted by musicians in the 1920s.

One A.M. (Chaplin 1916) score based on music by Scott Joplin
One Week (Buster Keaton 1920) improvised score
Never Weaken (Harold Lloyd 1921) score based on popular 1920s piano music
Big Business (Laurel and Hardy 1929) score composed by John Lenehan
