We’re honoring the funny man who has made the most appearances to date in the That Slapstick Show! series with his very own show!

Among fans of silent film comedy, Al St. John (1893-1963) is best remembered for appearing alongside with his uncle, comedy legend Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. Al subsequently appeared with Buster Keaton in dozens of shorts beginning in the 1910s and into the sound era of the 1930s, eventually earning the screen name “Fuzzy” in cheaply made ‘B’ westerns. As a solo artist, St. John’s starring shorts have often been overlooked, ignored, and neglected.

Today, much of Al’s surviving starring film work still remains fresh and funny with comedy fans. Bouncing from one end of the screen to the other, Al displayed a wide range of comedic talents, often performing his own stunts. St. John could easily contend with contemporaries such as Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd for screen popularity.

Oakdrive Podcast Release Party
Sept. 30 @ 7 PM
Tix: $10

Oakdrive captures the feelings of mystery, nostalgia, and loss attached to the family house. Mosiah Rashaad’s parents abandoned the family house, called Oakdrive, but the family was still responsible for maintaining the property. Mosiah and his family would travel to Oakdrive from their new home in Decatur to cut the kudzu and grass overtaking the house and to replace the wooden boards that shuttered its windows and doors. In caring for the house, Mosiah began to see the building as a relic of his family’s history and his childhood.

The Oakwood podcast is an episodic compilation of recordings that capture the emotions brought about by change and life’s constant ambiguity. Underlying motifs couple with soundscapes and a hint of gallows humor to present a compelling reflection of the cultural interplay in a melting pot society. In Mosiah’s father’s words, “Wake up–we goina’ Oakdrive…”
