Welcome! We are the founding "tent," or chapter, of THE SONS OF THE DESERT, the International Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society.

Founded in 1965 with the blessing of Stan Laurel, THE SONS OF THE DESERT (named after what most L&H aficionados deem the pair's best feature film) has kept the laughter going in Manhattan for over 50 years. Join us each month in New York City as we gather to relish the timeless humor of Laurel & Hardy and other legendary comedians, all showcased in stunning 16mm film. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to their charm, we invite you to share in the joy of classic comedy with fellow enthusiasts. Come join the fun!
