We also have a special event planned on Saturday 9th at the beautiful Savoy Cinema, just around the corner at Heaton Moor. The Savoy is very much like ‘The Bijou’ from The Smallest Show on Earth, (without all the problems!), so we decided to hold a proper Saturday Morning Pictures Show on Saturday 9th October 2021 from 9am-12pm – bring your pop guns and wear your badges! There will be a special guest and a separate Film Quiz with Afternoon Tea in the afternoon from 1-4pm. It will be a smaller event than The Plaza on the Sunday so get your tickets quick! There’s not many seats available at The Savoy. If you have specific seating requests for ANY EVENT, then call us to book your tickets rather than online or on the order form.

  • Fist of Fun Press Release
    Fist of Fun Press Release Fist of Fun was on TV in 1995. And since then, despite the popularity and artistic credibility of its writers and stars Stewart Lee and Richard Herring, it has never been repeated, never been released, and never been included as part of those 100 best sketch programs that turn up from time to time. So finally, on 6th December 2011, Go Faster Stripe will be gambling its economic future by putting that right, and releasing a four disc set of the first series. Late last year GFS heard that the BBC’s DVD making department had a meeting where they decided “neither Sales nor Marketing believed that Lee & Herring had much sales potential in the current market” leaving the door open for an idiotic independent producer to licence the material. So Stew and Rich clubbed together with Go Faster Stripe and stumped up the money and bought the rights. And they have made a beautiful thing. The set contains all the episodes, each with commentary tracks from Rich and Stew. And there’s a couple of commentaries from Kevin Eldon and Ben Moor too. There’s the unbroadcast pilot episode, a modern day interview with the pair as they go though a box of 90s memorabilia, and there’s even the disappointing live show recorded at the height of their TV fame. On discs 3 and 4 – in what they think is a first – they have included all the surviving studio tapes from the show recordings. That’s all the retakes, all the between take banter as well as a load of deleted scenes.
