Great night at @LOCOFilmFest last night at premiere of Hostages. Really funny feature film. Congrats to all involved, esp writer/director Jim Owen, an old mate from @straight8 days. So great to see him make his debut feature! 👏👏👏

So you can watch comedy films at home; enough of this communal experience rubbish.

Scenes from Saturday's screenings of Wendy Toye's WE JOINED THE NAVY and Neil Maskell's masterful dark comedy KLOKKENLUIDER @theamitshah @Suradohnke @rogergrantevans @Jenna_Coleman_ @HelenSimmons8 @ErebusPictures @StudiocanalUK @HackneyPH #wendytoye #klokkenluider

[SukiLewis ⛓️🧬💀🙌 @suekmoorhen]

Absolutely loved #Klokkenluider at the screening last night with Q&A. It lived up to its name, the acting was superb, comedic elements especially brilliant- a must watch - bring on the DVD 🤞
The icing on the cake was the Q&A thanks to all for being so generous with your time ❤️

Watch this space (or another one near it) for details of LOCO 2024! (6/6)

[LOCO Comedy Film Festival @LOCOFilmFest]

And that is, as they say, a wrap. The last four days of LOCO have been LARGE AND FLAMING. Here are a few snaps from our final screenings on Sunday. (1/6)

[LOCO Comedy Film Festival @LOCOFilmFest]

Plus the fabulous Denise Hicks and @jonathanwakeham for creating LOCO in the first place - and most importantly the filmmakers who dream up these outstanding films, making us laugh but also making us look differently at the world. Without you there would be no LOCO. (5/6)

6:30PM: The Dark Side

Bumbling stickups, maddening bureaucracy, and the odd case of murder prove that no area is out of bounds for comedy. These films will leave you unsure whether to laugh or shudder.

3PM: The Near Side

Join us as we explore the funny side of adolescent discoveries, beauty treatments, and the erotic lives of plants in these films that hit a little nearer to home.
