This is an unofficial website for the British comedy institution
which is The Comic Strip Presents starring Rik Mayall, Peter
Richardson, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Adrian Edmondson and
Jennifer Saunders.
The Comic Strip began
performing at the Boulevard Theatre next to the Raymond Revue Bar in London's Soho in the
early 1980s. After meeting with Mike Bolland at Channel 4 The
Comic Strip Presents was commissioned. Production came quickly
and the first episode was broadcast on 2nd November 1982 with
'Five go mad in Dorset' a spoof on the Enid Blyton series. Being
part of the opening night of Channel 4 helped boost
exposure for the fledgling film makers and thus The Comic Strip
Presents were born.
Over 30 films and 25 years
later they still have an appeal, and no matter where you go I am
almost certain you will find a fan. I aim to be a number one
resource for all things Comic Strip, so feel free to look
through the site, if you have anything you want to add please
email me, or if you just want to chat with another fan, then use
the contact link and my email address is on there.
Please note that I'm not
involved or affiliated with The Comic Strip, if you would like
to contact your favourite Comic Stripper please use the details
on the 'Contact' Page - cheers
