Legendary Comedy Duo Laurel and Hardy Live new in-Depth Book

Curtain Call Chicago - Date June 17, 2026

Legendary Comedy Duo Laurel and Hardy Live on thru new in-Depth Book - By: Paul Lisnek


Laurel and Hardy: After the Laughter is a deeply researched book that chronicles the final years of comedy legends Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, from their curtailed 1954 British tour through Hardy’s death in 1957 and Laurel’s quiet retirement in Santa Monica living at the Oceana. Drawing on letters, news reports, private documents, and rare photographs, it offers an intimate look at their declining health, abandoned plans for a comeback and Laurel’s reflective later life as he watched a new generation discover “Stan & Ollie” on television. This interview is of co-author Nico Cartenstildt, also the author of a previous book on the legendary comedy team.
