PAUL MERTON LIVE IN BELFAST'S MOVIE HOUSE, YORKGATE! JOIN PAUL AS HE SCREENS HILARIOUS EXTRACTS FROM THE VERY BEST SILENT COMEDIANS IN SOME OF THEIR FUNNIEST FILMS. >

MONDAY 23RD MARCH 2009
Paul Merton is launching his 'Silent Clowns' Spring Tour as part of the 9th Jameson Belfast Film Festival on 3rd April 2009 at Movie House, Yorkgate, Belfast.

Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd and many others are presented by Paul, whose infectious enthusiasm and knowledge of these films means a splendid time is guaranteed for all.

And then, Buster Keaton’s uproariously funny Steamboat Bill Junior is shown in its entirety.

With fantastic live accompaniment by world renowned pianist Neil Brand.

“Go marvel.” Daily Telegraph

“...lovers of slapstick comedy (are) in for a treat.” Newbury Today

“Extracts from Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and numerous otherclassics frequently had the (audience) in hysterics... Merton’s show highlights what a refreshing change this type of humour can be” NG magazine

“...assisted by the thrilling wit and polish of Brand’s lightning-fingered accompaniment, the sheer finesse of each successive slapstick selection works its magic on the audience and the laughter flows more and more freely.”
Daily Telegraph

“The gifted pianist’s inventive playing and impeccable timing brought the films to life” NG Magazine

An unmissable family show for anyone over the age of 9.

*Ticket prices:
Adult £14.50; Concession £12.50; Under 16s - £9.50
