I have just returned from the beautiful city of Bristol, where I was invited to the “Slapstick Festival” a terrific few days. There are all sorts of events over five days, talks, classic silent films, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd to mention but a few, and much more. And they even gave me an award for services to comedy – I like them. You can find out all about them on their website, www.slapstick.org.uk

I’ve got all sorts of one nighters coming in: after dinner speeches, spots in Music Halls, “An Afternoon/Evening with Roy & Debbie Hudd” and Debbie’s WI Talks.
