Admission is free for members of the Friends of the Clifton Center and $5 for the general public. Tickets will be sold the day of the event beginning at 6:00pm at the Clifton Center box office.

Laurel and Hardy were one of the most popular and critically acclaimed comedy double acts of the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. Composed of thin Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and heavy American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957) they became well known during the late 1920s to the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of the pompous Hardy. Together, Laurel and Hardy appeared in 107 short films and features.

Support for MINI of Louisville LIVE at the Clifton Center is provided by the Kentucky Arts Council, LEO Weekly, WFPK, Carmichael’s Bookstore, the Gardner Foundation, The Brown Hotel, Wild and Woolly Video, and the Derby City Film Festival.
