Produced and directed by Gary Reich and Emma Lawson. Paramount School of Comedy celebrates the anarchic early years of the Paramount Comedy Channel in the late 1990s, when many of the future stars of British comedy did their first ever television – unfettered, unabashed and slightly out of control. As one of the main comedy producers working there at the time, Gary has uncovered a lot of rare and previously unseen footage of Sacha Baron Cohen (doing ‘Bruno’); The Might Boosh; Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright; Leigh Francis; Matt Lucas and David Walliams; Armstrong and Miller and Dom Joly. It also includes some very revealing interviews with many of the stars of today.
