The Birmingham Comedy Festival bring three of the legendary duo’s films to the mac with authoritative introductions from John Ullah, Grand Sheik of the Birmingham branch of the Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society. The pick is Blockheads which sees our heroes returning from the trenches of the First World War, though Stan is twenty years late due to not being relieved from his post, hilarious stuff of course. As Stan comments thoughtfully, “If you want me to go, I’ll stay as long as you like.”

Sun 7 Oct 2.30pm at mac, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham B12 9QH £9 macbirmingham.co.uk
