About Laurel and Hardy lookalikes 'Haurel and Lardy'

Jem Frazer (Ollie) and Graeme Hardy (Stan) were both ardent Laurel and Hardy fans and were part of separate tribute acts to their heroes. After a chance meeting they decided to join forces performing as ‘Haurel and Lardy’, and have now been together for over 10 years. They are now considered by many to be the best Laurel and Hardy tribute act in the world.

Interaction is paramount and their phenomenal portrayal of these screen icons has been achieved from performing at all kinds of venues and events.

In addition to extensive work in the UK, Haurel and Lardy have had numerous engagements in Europe, the United States and the Middle East.

They have appeared at top venues including The Royal Albert Hall – London, City of Varieties – Leeds, The Wolsey Theatre – Ipswich, The Royal and Derngate Theatre – Northampton, plus The Savoy, The Ritz, The Grosvenor House and the Intercontinental Hotels in London, and many other hotels in major cities throughout the United Kingdom.

They have featured in many high profile advertising campaigns ranging from computer software Jet Cam Ltd., - Monte Carlo, to Italian work wear - Siggi – Milan.

It was a big box office success in Italy in 2002.

T.V. and Promotional DVD work has been plentiful, not only here in the United Kingdom but also abroad.

Promotional DVD’s for Jet Cam Ltd., (a computer software company) Shell UK (Oil Company) and a health and safety DVD for Shetland Catch (a fish processing company) have also been well received.
