Sons of the Desert Founding Tent of New York The Official page of the Founding "Tent," or Chapter, of The Sons of the Desert organization

We are the founding "tent," or chapter, of THE SONS OF THE DESERT, the International Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society. Founded in 1965 with the blessing of Stan Laurel, THE SONS OF THE DESERT (named after what most L&H aficionados deem the pair's best feature film) has kept the laughter going in Manhattan for over 50 years. Come join us for our monthly meetings, where we enjoy 16mm film presentations of Laurel & Hardy movies and shorts, as well as other classic comedies of that era.
