LOCO Shorts 2023 presents: The Dark Side

BAFTA-Recognised festival LOCO (aka The London Comedy Film Festival) is back to share the best comedy short films.

Sometimes a film leaves you unsure whether to laugh or shudder, to feel amused or disturbed. These short comedy films revel in the funny dimensions of the dark, the daunting, and the downright despairing. Their stories of bumbling stickups, maddening bureaucracy, political gaffes, and the odd case of murder prove that no area is out of bounds for comedy.
