Hollywood Laugh Makers: Cinema’s Great Comedy Teams   

The pioneers of America’s movie business learned early on that success meant giving people what they wanted most: a good laugh. While the silent era produced many memorable solo comedians, producer Hal Roach changed the game in 1926 by pairing two of his comedy stalwarts in the same film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy became the blueprint for the iconic comedy teams that followed, from Abbott and Costello to the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers. Driven by the hilarious juxtaposition of mismatched personalities and physical types, these duos brought film comedy to new heights. Our sessions will explore the lives, careers, and lasting legacies of these legendary merrymakers.
