About Comedy in Focus: BEAN
Join us for this special screening series that celebrates the unforgettable characters and performers who have shaped British humour across generations. Featuring three iconic films, the programme brings together slapstick, classic duos, and satirical brilliance to honour the rich tradition of British comedy.
This month's feature : BEAN
The bumbling Mr. Bean travels to America when he is given the responsibility of bringing a highly valuable painting to a Los Angeles museum.
Before the screening:
Explore the exhibition I Photograph Comedians. The exhibition features nearly 80 images, including studio portraits, rare contemplative moments off-stage and live stage performances. It also features comedy memorabilia, including a signed pair of Rik Mayall’s underpants and photographs of iconic objects such as Billy Connolly’s banana boots.
This combined exhibition-and-film experience invites audiences to reflect on Britain’s comedic legacy both on stage and behind the camera before settling in to enjoy some of the most beloved films in British comedy history.
