The second of two special nights celebrating 'Comic Strip Presents.' The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Writer-Director Peter Richardson and VIP guests (names to be announced soon).
The Comic Strip launched the careers of many of Britain’s best loved comedy talents, including Ade Edmundson, Rik Mayall, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Robbie Coltrane, Nigel Planer, Peter Richardson, Keith Allen, and Alexie Sayle.
This is a rare chance to enjoy a triple bill of three 'Comic Strip Presents' films: Red Top, Four Men In A Car and The Hunt for Tony Blair.
Redtop (2016)
Top of the bill is the satire on The News Of The Word's phone hacking scandal Red Top. Red Top has not been seen Theatrically in London's West End since 2016, when it first aired on TV's UK Gold. This stars Maxine Peake as Rebekah Brooks, Nigel Planer as Rupert Murdoch, and Stephen Mangan as Tony Blair turned hippie.
Four Men In A Car (1998)
Rarely theatrically screened, this film sees four salesmen, namely, Ade Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Peter Richardson and Nigel Planer who all share the car journey from hell on their way to a sales conference where only one of them will be selected for promotion.
The Hunt for Tony Blair (2012)
The critically acclaimed The Hunt for Tony Blair is a monochrome Brit-Noir homage, starring Stephen Mangan as Tony Blair, and Jennifer Saunders as Margaret Thatcher. This was nominated for BAFTA and British Comedy awards, amid much press acclaim nationally.
