Big Screen Big Laughs is a co-production between Idea Generation Events and The Fix, the UK’s comedy bible. It brings film and comedy together in a unique way in one of London’s leading independent cinemas.
The first is compered by movie-fanatic comic Richard Sandling and features star comic Rich Fulcher (known for his manic turn on The Mighty Boosh).
Richard Sandling, compere, said: “I’m really looking forward to being the compere for the Big Screen Big Laughs and working with the legendary Rich Fulcher from the awesome Mighty Boosh! It’s a golden opportunity to bring together my two main loves of stand-up and films. The Shortwave is such a great venue to have an event such as this one; it’s going to be an awesome night’s entertainment combining brilliant comedy with some brilliant ‘guilty pleasures’ films.”
Rob Wray, Director of Shortwave Cinema said: “I’m so pleased that this comedy concept is coming to the Cinema. Everyone is really excited about bringing something new to Shortwave and London cinemas more widely – and, of course, who doesn’t enjoy these guilty pleasure films. There’s some real treats lined up for the next few months!”
