The Comedy Company was an Australian sketch comedy television series that first aired from 16 February 1988 until 11 November 1990 on Network Ten. It was created and directed by cast member Ian McFadyen, and co-directed and produced by Jo Lane.
The show largely consisted of sketch comedy in short segments, much in the tradition of earlier sketch comedy shows such as The Mavis Bramston Show, The Naked Vicar Show and The D-Generation and featured cast members from the latter two shows. The majority of the filming took place in Melbourne.
The show and characters had a significant effect on Australian pop culture, and had a cult following particularly with Australian youth.
