Three British comedy stars are bringing two special events to The Witham in Barnard Castle in November celebrating iconic television shows. Peter Richardson, Phil Cornwell and Dom Joly will appear on 25 and 28 November for evenings of comedy, nostalgia and behind-the-scenes stories about the programmes they created and starred in.
The first event on 25 November celebrates The Comic Strip Presents, the alternative comedy series that helped transform British television in the 1980s. Series creator Peter Richardson will curate a selection of classic episodes and films, followed by a live Q&A with actor Phil Cornwell. Audiences will hear first-hand accounts and behind-the-scenes stories from the productions. The screenings will include The Best of Rik Mayall, The Hunt for Tony Blair, highlights from Stella Street and A Fistful of Cheques.
The Comic Strip featured a core cast that included Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Nigel Planer and Peter Richardson, with regular appearances from Keith Allen, Robbie Coltrane and Alexei Sayle. The second event on 28 November will celebrate Trigger Happy TV, described as 'the wonderfully unpredictable world' of the show, with Dom Joly.
