Slapstick Conversations

At Slapstick, we believe in real films on real screens, live music and, above all, the irreplaceable experience of people coming together in a room.

These conversations offer a rare chance to hear Graeme Garden reflect on a lifetime in classic comedy, Rick Wakeman explore his extraordinary musical journey from Bowie to Yes, and to share in the insight and curiosity of a brilliant broadcaster like Samira Ahmed.

When Rick joins Griff Rhys Jones, we’ll have the pleasure of being in the company of two great entertainers and raconteurs, all while raising vital funds to help make our February Slapstick Festival possible.
