“They were the funniest comedy team in the world.” – Lou Costello

One of the greatest comedy teams ever to grace the silver screen, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred together in over 100 shorts and features. Laurel was the childlike, bewildered innocent, and Hardy, the pompous, self‑regarding ass, perpetually irritated by his cohort. Together, they are perfectly balanced comedic foils whose mutual dimwittedness always leads to hilariously escalating misunderstandings, mishaps, and impeccable comedic chaos. We pay tribute to the legendary duo with a program of four of their funniest shorts!

BIG BUSINESS
In this classic silent short, Laurel & Hardy are selling Christmas trees door‑to‑door and happen to pick the worst customer imaginable, escalating a petty argument into a glorious, house‑destroying war.

BLOTTO
Hardy sneaks Laurel out for a night of boozy revelry, unaware Laurel’s wife has swapped their liquor with cold tea mixed with hot sauce and myriad spices, leading to a night of drunken bravado powered entirely by their own stupidity.

BRATS
In one of the duo’s most surreal shorts, Laurel and Hardy play both themselves and their own mischievous, oversized children as a quiet night turns into slapstick chaos.

HOG WILD
Hardy’s rooftop radio antenna becomes a death trap as Laurel “helps,” turning a simple repair job into a jaw-dropping demolition derby around (and above) the neighborhood.
