The Very Best of The Comedy Company Volume 1

In 1988 a group of unknown comedians burst onto the TV scene with a show that revolutionised Australian television - The Comedy Company. Overnight it became the highest rating series of the year. The characters - Kylie Mole, Con the Fruiterer and Colin Carpenter became household names. The show became compulsory Sunday night viewing. Now, for the first time this DVD presents a collection of their greatest sketches in their original form: uncut and uncensored. There's Kylie, Con, Colin, The Language of Football, Uncle Arthur, Jophasine and many more. Also included are some scenes that have never been broadcast.

Directed by Ian McFadyen, The Very Best of The Comedy Company Volume 1 leans on a strong ensemble — Mark Mitchell, Glenn Robbins, Mary-Anne Fahey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2004.
