The following year\, they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. \n\n\n\nNobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show\n\n\n\nThe organisers are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment. \n\n\n\nThanks to new restorations of their silent films\, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies\, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages\, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies\, particularly You’re Darn Tootin’\, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years. \n\n\n\nNeil’s concerts have proved really popular with his personal contact with the audience & his unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging\, easy-going style\, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience\, followed by his after-show ‘Meet and Greet’\, makes for a highly entertaining evening. \n\n\n\nCurrently working on a television documentary and a new book about The Boys\, Neil is once again looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences around the country\, and celebrating the life and times of comedy legends\, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £28.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 12 April 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nNorman Bragg Studio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
