A new comedy film night, Big Screen Big Laughs, hits London at the beautiful boutique Shortwave Cinema on Wednesday November 18th.

The night features stand-up stars Pappy’s Fun Club who will introduce a screening of their ‘guilty pleasure’ film The Three Amigos (the 1986 comedy western classic starring Steve Martin and Chevy Chase) and then do a question and answer session. The whole evening will be compered by top film-fanatic comedian Richard Sandling.

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 night is compered by movie-fanatic comic Richard Sandling and features Pappy’s Fun Club (known for being named best sketch, variety or character act in the 2008 Chortle awards.)

Pappy’s Fun Club said: “We chose The Three Amigos as it’s fun, it’s silly, it’s about idiots working together to save the day. It’s everything we aspire to be.”

Richard Sandling, compere, said: “I’m really looking forward to being the compere for the Big Screen Big Laughs and working with the legendary Pappy’s Fun Club! 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!”
