This edgy '80s sketch comedy series launched the careers of a constellation of British stars including Oscar®-winner Emma Thompson, Golden Globe®-winner Hugh Laurie, BAFTA-winner Robbie Coltrane, Stephen Fry, Ben Elton, and more. With wickedly funny send-ups of pop culture, bureaucracy, and this very show, Alfresco combines the satirical bite of Saturday Night Live with the absurdist flair of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
