Slapstick Festival 2023

It’s the  19th edition of Bristol’s very own Silent, Visual and Classic Comedy Festival!

Music has been a key ingredient of every Slapstick since the festival began. But for the 19th annual edition, it’s getting extra special attention. As well as live accompaniments to all the silent films, the festival will celebrate some of the many marriages between comedy and music, including via classic mockumentaries, Beatles revelations and family-friendly movies filled with hit songs.

At St George’s, we’re playing host to several ace Slapstick events. Explore the line-up below. For Slapstick events at other venues, click here.
