Britain's best-loved female comedy duo brings its live stage show French And Saunders: Still Alive to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London’s West End.

French And Saunders: Still Alive features the highlights of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders's three decades as a comic pairing, with old favourite characters and sketches mingled with brand new, side-splitting material.

French and Saunders first met in 1978 while students at the Central School Of Speech And Drama. First appearing in the early 80s as part of The Comic Strip, their double act was launched later that decade with their debut self-titled series. Over seven successful series, the pair built a reputation for their parodies of popular culture, which graduated over time into big-budget spoofs of popular films, including Titanic and The Lord Of The Rings. They also filmed a number of specials for Christmases, Bank Holidays and Comic Relief, and released two Comic Relief records; Help with Bananarama, and Who Do You Think You Are? with The Spice Girls.

Both Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have found success away from the French And Saunders double act. Saunders wrote and starred in the hugely successful Absolutely Fabulous and is currently writing Jam And Jerusalem. She has also appeared in American sitcoms Friends and Roseanne, and played the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2. French was taken to the heart of the British public in another long-running BBC comedy classic The Vicar Of Dibley.

French And Saunders: Still Alive is the last chance to see the pair performing their sketches together, as they feel it is time to move on to other projects.
