About
Join art historian and comedian Verity Babbs for a special edition of Art Laughs - the acclaimed series of art-themed comedy events that bring laughter into cultural spaces - at Farleys House & Gallery!
Verity Babbs is the author of The History of Art in One Sentence (Bloomsbury, 2025), and through a blend of storytelling, comedy, and art history, Verity and some soon to be announced special guests will uncover the fun and absurdity that has shaped the art world.
Taking place in the Lee Miller Gallery, this event offers a rare opportunity to experience Farleys not only as a site of extraordinary artistic heritage, but as a place where creativity, conversation, and wit continue to thrive.
Whether you're an art enthusiast, a comedy lover, or simply curious about the colourful lives behind great works of art, Art Laughs at Farleys promises an entertaining evening celebrating the lighter side of art history. Expect surprising stories, laughs, and fresh perspectives!
This event is a part of Farleys' 2026 Surrealist Week - celebrating the enduring legacy of Surrealism and its continuing influence on art, photography, literature, and culture.
