"Noisy mime that tells a thousand comic words "
Daily MailIn 1910, the then unknown Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel set sail from Southampton to New York as part of Fred Karno’s famous music hall troupe.
They shared a cabin, they shared comedy routines but by the end of the journey they had drifted apart… they would both go on to become two of the biggest stars of the age.
Inspired by real life events, and accompanied by a live piano score, Told by an Idiot's smash hit production is a hilarious and moving homage to Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, two men who changed the world of comedy forever.
Charlie and Stan makes a welcome return to Wilton’s where it was first seen in London, as part of LIMF’20.
This show is accessible to D/deaf audiences. It is non-verbal, very physical and performed in the style of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel featuring occasional silent era movie Intertitles to help tell the story. There are 2 songs in the show, which are not captioned. Click here to read the lyrics >
