Press Quotes
Undeniably essential... The absolute of modern British humor. The Comic Strip Presents... remains a master class in creating timeless hilarity.
—Geeks of Doom
Very funny... Aficionados of the bizarre side of British comedy really ought to enjoy this. Fan favorite episode BAD NEWS TOUR creates some truly hilarious characters.
—DVD Talk
BAD NEWS is one of music's funniest parodies... The Comic Strip's spoof metal band arguably provided more pure belly laughs than Nigel Tufnel and co.
—NME
