About your host, Mr Benelux
It’s a big bad world out there but forget that for 87 minutes of one of the greatest and silliest comedies ever made. Local comedian, Hastings Benelux will be your host, doing a little bit of talking before the film and then leading a philosophical and erudite discussion of the many, many existential and metaphysical questions posed by the film, after the showing.
Hastings Benelux is a much-loved, inconsistent and directionless comedian who you definitely haven’t seen on Have I Got News For You or 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
“Mr Benelux we salute you. Whoever you are. The Hastings comedy conspiracy is very much alive and chuckling and growing”- Hastings Independent Press
