Welcome to The Comic Strip Presents

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.

I have just added a forum as a test for this week to see if people would use it, so if you would like to join, i'd love to have you aboard please click here: http://thecomicstrip.invisionplus.net/ if people join, then i'll add graphics to the header of the forum and customise it a bit more.

cheers
