Screenings of 'The Best Of Rik Mayall', 'Red Nose Of Courage', 'The Best Of Stella Street' and 'Four Men In A Car', followed by a live Q&A with Peter Richardson and Phil Cornwell.
Peter Richardson and Phil Cornwell are coming to QUAD on Thursday 5 November for a night of screenings and a live Q&A, all under the banner of The Comic Strip Presents....
The evening is built around two of the biggest names from the Comic Strip world. Richardson directed the ground-breaking comedy series that redefined British humour, and Cornwell starred in Stella Street, the BBC hit he shared with John Sessions, also directed by Richardson. They'll be on stage together, sharing insider anecdotes and talking through their favourite clips alongside full footage of the shows, as compiled by Richardson himself.
The screenings run through a good chunk of the night. You'll get The Best Of Rik Mayall (10 mins), Red Nose Of Courage (53 mins), The Best Of Stella Street (25 mins), and Four Men In A Car (28 mins). Red Nose Of Courage is a proper Comic Strip sketch blown up to full length: it reimagines ex-PM John Major, played by Ade Edmondson, running away from the circus to become an MP while working evenings in a clown act under the pressure of his father, the circus manager, played by Alexei Sayle, and falling for the Opposition Leader, played by Dawn French. Four Men In A Car follows four salesmen on their way to a conference in Swindon. Between the clips, Richardson and Cornwell will be talking through it all.
