All-star line-up of comedy will help celebration of silent slapstick era

The Hexagon the venue for fundraising night, with a bill that includes Adam Mills, Jack Dee, Richard Herring, and Ria Lina

An all-star line-up of comedians will be coming to The Hexagon this autumn.

They will be raising a laugh to raise funds for more laughter, as the event will help with the running costs of Bristol’s vintage comedy not-for-profit arts organisation Slapstick Festival.

The gig will be headlined by the presenter of The Last Leg, Adam Mills, making a rare onstage performance.

Also topping the bill is deadpan comedian Jack Dee.

But they aren’t the only stars at this show.

Ria Lina, Richard Herring, Alasdair Beckett-King, and Tony Hawks complete the line-up, ensuring a night to remember.

This will take place on Monday, November 11, at the Reading town centre theatre.

Tickets cost £24.50 or £28.50.

The Slapstick comedy festival takes place in Bristol in February and is a showcase of some of the very best of the silent comedy era, including Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, and Harold Lloyd.

It will also welcome special guests such as Rick Wakeman, Ben Elton and Sir Michael Palin.

This takes place from Wednesday, February 12, to Sunday, February 15.
