In the teens and twenties, California produced the greatest talent of comedian's the world has ever known. So many are now forgotten, but in the days when you would "Listen with your eyes" they were known the world over.

From the knockabout slapstick of Sennett rose an art form spearheaded by the genius of Charlie Chaplin. Visual comedy was at its zenith, we have never seen anything better and I guess with comedy the way it is today...we never will.

It is our intention to establish SilentComedians.com as a central location for fans of silent comedy. In our "Forums", you can talk about specific comedians and have serious discussions with a more regimented feel instead of the freewheeling newsgroups like "alt.movies.silent" and "alt.movies.chaplin".

This site plans to evolve in the coming months. Initially, we are showcasing the "cream of the crop" in silent comedy on our homepage with mini bio's. Many other comedians are discussed in our forums. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed on our "Contact" page.

Click on "GO TO FORUMS" to discuss and ask questions about your favorite silent comedians.
