Slapstick Festival is an annual comedy film festival in Bristol, United Kingdom. The festival, which was created in 2005 by Bristol Silents, screens silent, classic, and visual comedy films. The mission of the festival is to introduce these films to modern audiences and bring them to life for a new generation of viewers. Silent comedies are presented with musicians performing a score live, introductions by special guests, and various special events take place throughout the festival.
The festival also produces one-off events throughout the year, such as a Tiswas reunion show at St George's on 16 April 2022, which reunited Bob Carolgees, John Gorman, Sally James and Chris Tarrant from the 1970s children's Saturday morning television show.
