That Slapstick Show: The Rare and the Odd of Silent Comedy

At long last, That Slapstick Show! is back with another barrel of laughs! Join host and curator Nelson Hughes as he presents a very special collection of silent era comedy shorts: Rarely-seen titles coming straight from the vaults of obscure private film collectors, all of which date from the 1910s and 1920s. Starring comedians like Billy Bevan and others, these films were meant to be seen on the silver screen, with an audience—and now's your chance to catch some true rarities with friends and neighbors!

Film program contains approximately 90 minutes of material, plus an intermission. This event also features ambient mood music and live musical film accompaniment by noted ragtime pianist Charlie Judkins.

The City Reliquary will have bar refreshments available. Please support the venue for all drinks consumed. Bar is *cash only.* You may bring your own food to enjoy during the show.

NO EARLY BIRDS!
We can only let our guests enter City Reliquary's backyard at 7pm—no earlier than that. If you arrive earlier than 7pm, you may wait inside the building and check out the Reliquary's indoor exhibits before the backyard opens up.


This is an all-vax event.

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We house the bones of New York City. Seltzer bottles to schist cores, roller skates from racially integrated rinks, and a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch are just a few examples of our exciting collection.

We use this space to breathe new life into New York city, with not only our incredible collection of interactive historical exhibits, but continuous and stimulating programming, arts, and events.

WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Membership gives you FREE ACCESS to all upcoming events, museum entry with a plus one on all open days, and the unique opportunity to be a part of a thriving creative community. You can become a member for $10/month at cityreliquary.org/join.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The City Reliquary values the individual diversity of every member of our community. Differences in age, race, ethnic heritage, religion, appearance, gender, sexual orientation, or any number of characteristics provide experiences, viewpoints, and ideas that strengthen and enrich our mission.

We are committed to creating an environment that is safe, inclusive, respectful, and equitable, and to include and uplift people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to create a safe and inspiring space.

From day one, our motto has been this simple phrase: Be Civic. And we’re sticking to it.
