The world's most famous double act

The world's most famous double act, Laurel & Hardy, started during the early Hollywood period of American cinema. Englishman, skinny Stan Laurel (1890 - 1965) and the plump American, Oliver Hardy (1892 - 1957) made up this slapstick duo of comedians.

The two comedians became a team in 1927, wearing their emblematic bow ties and bowler hats. Their films always started with "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku" or "The Dance of the Cuckoos" which music became as famous as the pair themselves. After 1944 Laurel & Hardy concentrated on stage shows and performances and toured the UK. They made a final film in 1950 called "Atoll K". They became one of the greatest comedy acts of all time.
