Welcome to the top British comedy site - home of Dear
Air 2000 and Football Crazy
Within the Top Comedy
website you will find well over a fifteen hundred pages of good old
British comedy (all the bad old foreign comedy having been filtered out, except
for the Saddam Hussein's haemorrhoids/chilli suppository joke).
ODDS AND SODS
is a compendium of British comedy, around fifty comic items, sketches, spoofs,
stories, games, crosswords, cod advertisements, roadmaps, menus, etcetera. Fun
for all! Note - the item called By Kind Permission Of Peter Kay is not by kind
permission of Peter Kay.
THE OYFORD ENCYCLOPEDIA is a one
thousand entry reference book containing entries such as 'Effing
Forest - Epping Forest when one is walking through it and
bangs one's head on an overhanging branch.' and 'Embarrassing Hair -
Hair which shouts "Hoy, Fatty!" to passers by and generally behaves in an
uncouth and uncivilised manner.'
CISSIE AND
ADA is a collection of some of the scripts I wrote for Les Dawson when I
worked for him as a scriptwriter during the years 1978 to 1983, originally on
two series of the BBC's 'The Dawson Watch' and thereafter on several series of
'The Les Dawson Show'.
AIR MAIL is a compilation of letters about requests for information, letters of
praise, but mostly letters of complaint, written by me, to around fifty
different airline companies, and the subsequent correspondence between us. Some
of the letters would appear to be beyond belief but I assure you they are 100%
genuine. Anyone fond of lasagne will love it.
FOOTBALL
CRAZY
is a comic novel about Frogley Town, an extremely impoverished north of
England football club who ply their trade in the lowest reaches of
League Two. The club takes on a new lease of life when it is taken over
by local bigwig Joe Price of Price's Pies. Lots of sex, chicanery,
heartache and moaning, but very few goals. My next door neighbour's
wife said of it 'Not British Comedy at its best', but what does she
know.
DEAR CUSTOMER SERVICES is in the same vein as Dear Air 2000, but is
correspondence to food manufacturing companies. Again all the letters are
completely genuine.
JAMES BLOND MI6 Secret agent James Blond is definitley not like the fictitious secret agent and cinema icon Jame Bond.
He's much more daring and bulletproof. And he sleeps with more women.
If you enjoy the style of Peter Kay then you will love -
THAT OTHER PETER KAY which is a
collection of scripts written in the style of the Bolton comedian. If you like
Peter Kay you'll like this.
A GOOD WALK SPOILED is a
comic novel about the noble game of golf. The action takes place on Captain's
Day at Sunnymere Golf Club as the members vie with each other to win the
prestigious Captain's Prize. Features lots of nudity, deaths, sex, drugs and
rock and roll. Oh, and there's a bit of golf in it too.
THE REAL ADRIAN MOLE is the diary of another, more
realistic adolescent than the other Adrian Mole, who the Real Adrian Mole would
probably call a wet, whinging twannock. Like the other Adrian Mole he is
obsessed with the size of his penis but unlike the other Adrian Mole he decides
to do something about it.
A FUNNY OLD WORLD is a selection of pages from the british comedy weblog I ran from 2003 to 2006 which proves
that reaching the age of sixty five doesn't preclude you from
still have a bit of fun now and then.
If you enjoy the British Comedy on the Top Comedy website you can find much, much more of it on
Razzamatazz
