Rob Brydon, Stewart Lee, Henning Wehn and more
Rob Brydon, Stewart Lee and Henning Wehn have been added to the programme of next year’s Slapstick festival.
The event, which celebrates silent, classic and visual screen comedy, is moving online for 2021, and will take place later in the year than usual – March 1 to 7
Festival director Chris Daniels said: ‘We’re looking forward to returning soon to staging live events in venues but, for now, moving online is the safest, most reliable and cost-effective way to mount a joyously varied programme.
‘There are other advantages, too. For instance, we can involve overseas speakers and celebrities whose location or packed diaries would make a trip to Bristol very difficult and we can build on the international connections made during our crowdfunding campaign by opening up the festival to comedy fans worldwide.
