Kennington Bioscope presents a weekend of silent comedy films, all with live musical accompaniment and introductions from film historians and silent comedy experts. A fun-tasmagoria of film, over two days, demonstrating the art of silent film comedy.

There’ll be some old favourites, as well as a ton of new discoveries, including some premieres of newly discovered shorts and restored features too.

The whole weekend will be dedicated to our friend and father of this event, David Wyatt and, because of this, we’ve got some extra special surprises we’ll be dropping into the proceedings, throughout the weekend. We’re sworn to secrecy – but we promise you won’t be disappointed with the special goodies we have in store.

As regular visitors will know, space is strictly limited, so don’t delay – book your seat today – for the best lorry load of laughs in London.

For anyone wanting lunch, Cafe Jamyang next door to the Museum will be open will be also be serving a selection of coffee, tea and cakes. If you would like an evening meal at Cafe Jamyang then these need to be booked in advance. You can do that when buying your ticket for the festival.

The Cinema Museum will open its doors at 09.00.
