The Comic Strip presents… with Peter Richardson & Alexei Sayle
Making its debut in November 1982 on Channel 4, The Comic Strip Presents is an ongoing project by a group of prominent comedians including Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Alexi Sayle and Peter Richardson, although at the time many of them were just starting out on their careers, since it’s conception it attracted an incredible array of well-known stars and directors creating some forty short films and full length cinema productions and became a legendary success.
We are delighted to present a selection of these cult comedy classics that all have a unique connection to Devon and the local areas which were used as locations.
Peter Richardson who starred in and produced many episodes will be in conversation over two special nights with stars from the show.
On Friday 17th April Peter will be in conversation with Alexei Sayle and they will be sharing stories while we screen:
The Supergrass (1985)
