The programme opens with a gala, hosted by Omid Djalili, paying an extra-special tribute to Charlie Chaplin and the centenary of his most famous character, the Little Tramp. Comedian, film actor and Charlie Chaplin enthusiast Omid Djalili is to host the gala evening of film and music that will open Bristol’s tenth annual Slapstick festival of silent and visual comedy on Friday 24 January 2014. The gala event at Colston Hall will not only launch what is now acknowledged as the UK’s biggest celebration of screen comedy but will also be the first in a series of global events marking the centenary of Charlie Chaplin’s best-loved character, the Tramp. As a result, the Gala will have a special Chaplin focus, including a screening of the 1931 feature CITY LIGHTS, accompanied live by a 39-piece orchestra – the largest ever to appear at any Slapstick event. Festival organiser, Chris Daniels, says: “We’re absolutely thrilled that Omid Djalili is coming to Bristol to launch both our 10th birthday festival and the world’s centenary salute to one of cinema’s most iconic figures.
