Sons Of The Desert At The Panopticon Theatre, Glasgow

On the 1st Wednesday of every month the 'Call Of The Cuckoos' tent show the films of Laurel and Hardy in the Panopticon Theatre in Glasgow's Trongate just off Argyle street. This is the very theatre where Stan Laurel made his debut performance as a boy.

@freacls as seen in the video above the sons of the desert still show Laurel & Hardy films there on the first Wednesday every month. Usually from around 6.30pm. Pop along and you will see the theatre. Entry is free.
