Slapstick 2026 concludes with a big-screen return for one of the sharpest and most prescient political comedies ever made.


A feature-length spin-off from The Thick of It, In The Loop follows ministers, spin doctors and hapless aides as a single off-hand remark spirals into an international crisis. With career-best performances from Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander and Gina McKee, Armando’s BAFTA-winning satire remains frighteningly relevant. A masterclass in the art of farce, fury and four-letter politics.

Introduced live by Armando Iannucci, this screening forms the closing event of Slapstick Festival 2026. A perfect finale to a day celebrating the enduring power of intelligent, fearless comedy

This film is a 15.
