This led to Edmondson and Mayall, along with Comedy Store compere Alexei Sayle and other up-and-coming comedians, including Nigel Planer, Peter Richardson, French and Saunders, Arnold Brown and Pete Richens, setting up their own comedy club called " The Comic Strip" in the Raymond Revuebar, a strip club in Soho. Mayall's Kevin Turvey character gained a regular slot in A Kick Up the Eighties, first broadcast in 1981. He appeared as "Rest Home" Ricky in Richard O'Brien's Shock Treatment, a sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He played Dentonvale's resident attendant as the love interest to Nell Campbell's Nurse Ansalong. Mayall's television appearances as Kevin Turvey led to a mockumentary based on the character titled Kevin Turvey – The Man Behind The Green Door, broadcast in 1982. The previous year, he appeared in a bit role in An American Werewolf in London. His stage partnership with Edmondson continued, with them often appearing together as " The Dangerous Brothers", hapless daredevils whose hyper-violent antics foreshadowed their characters in Bottom. The series, which continued sporadically for many years, saw Mayall play a wide variety of roles.Ĭhannel 4 offered the Comic Strip group six short films, which became The Comic Strip Presents., debuting on 2 November 1982. It was known for anti-establishment humour and for parodies such as Bad News on Tour, a spoof " rockumentary" starring Mayall, Richardson, Edmondson and Planer as a heavy metal band.Īt the time The Comic Strip Presents. was negotiated, the BBC took an interest in The Young Ones, a sitcom written by Mayall and his then-girlfriend Lise Mayer, in the same anarchic vein as Comic Strip.
