Sanjeev Bashkar: Rediscovering Laurel and Hardy with Adam Hills

Presented by Slapstick Festival

This event has passed.

Join much-loved comedian and Last -Leg broadcaster Adam Hills for a witty, deeply affectionate celebration of the timeless brilliance of Laurel & Hardy.


Adam is joined by special guest Sanjeev Bhaskar, star of Goodness Gracious Me and Unforgotten, and a proud Patron of Slapstick, returning to one of his great comic passions.

Sanjeev first helped kick off Slapstick’s celebration of Laurel & Hardy back in 2009 with their co-star Jean Darling, and now reunites with fellow fan Adam Hills to rediscover the magic of Stan and Ollie afresh.

Sanjeev will share his favourite moments, personal rediscoveries and on-screen gems, exploring what makes “the boys” so enduring.

This is a joyful dive into why Laurel & Hardy continue to inspire actors, writers and comedians and why their work still feels astonishingly alive to us a century on.

Warm, funny and full of love for the greatest double act in cinema history, this is a must for long-time fans and curious newcomers alike.
