'...And this is my friend Mr Laurel'

'...And this is my friend Mr Laurel' is a biographical one-man play about the life of film comedian Stan Laurel, starring Jeffrey Holland (Spike from BBC's Hi-De-Hi). Set in the bedroom of a sick Oliver Hardy, this moving and insightful show takes place during Laurel's visit to his dying friend. Recounting their past success as the comedy double act laurel and Hardy, this is a humorous and touching exploration of one of the great cinematic partnerships of the last century.

I saw the show in Edinburgh and was amazed to find out what an incredibly hard working, driven and talented director, writer and editor Stan Laurel was. I thought he was just a clown. Turns out I was wrong - he was quite amazing.
