Legendary British Cult TV Show ?Stella Street? Comes to Komedia

The stars of Stella Street, one of the most famous residences in British television comedy, will be making a return as a new show coming to Komedia Bath in April, as part of the Bath Comedy Festival.

The cult British TV comedy, Stella Street, is set to make a return as part of the Bath Comedy Festival, with a show at Komedia Bath on Friday 4 April.

Creator Peter Richardson will present a special version of the legendary BBC Two comedy, followed by a rare stage appearance of two of the show’s favourite characters performed by character comedy legends Phil Cornwell and John Sessions.

Stella Street originally screened in four series on BBC Two between 1997 and 2001, before demand saw the release of a feature-length movie in 2004.

The show takes the form of a mockumentary filmed on a single camcorder, based on the fantastical premise that a group of British and American celebrities have all decided to move into Stella Street in London’s Surbiton.

The shows characters played by Cornwell and Sessions included Michael Caine, Robert De Nero, Jimmy Hill and Marlon Brando - with a corner store run by Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The only non-celebrity on Stella Street is poor Mrs Huggett, who cleans the houses of the other celebrities, whilst constantly being the butt of their cruel jibes.

The TV show has not been seen for over a decade and never been staged in any form, so Komedia is proud to announce a world premiere Stars on Stella Street screening, followed by live appearances from some of the show’s characters.

Tickets are available now (£25.50 Meal Deal, £15 Advance, or £13 Concessions) from the Komedia Bath website (www.komedia.co.uk/bath), Komedia’s booking line (0845 293 8480), or in person at the venue.
