Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Richard Curtis
A prolific screenwriter (hailing from New Zealand), you have credits on Not the Nine O’Clock News, and all four series of the classic Blackadder. You have also written a great number of film scripts, such as those for Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill. More recently you’ve been responsible for Mr. Bean and The Vicar of Dibley, and films such as The Boat That Rocked. You’ve developed a rather mawkish style these days, in contrast to the acerbic wit often manifested in your earlier works. In fact, with unfunny gimmicks like the “chocolate fountain” episode of the Vicar of Dibley, and the clichéd abomination that was The Boat That Rocked, one might say you’ve lost your touch, and that your recent works seem to have the life sucked out of them. As a result, on one night of the game you may choose to “suck the life out of” another player. They will be dead for the purposes of the game, including factional win conditions; but are still able to post in the thread.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Ben Elton
You wet your feet in the early 80s by co-writing the classic alternative comedy The Young Ones. Unusually violent and off-the-wall, it centred on the surreal lives of four university students, all highly obnoxious in their own ways. Seeking to outdo yourself, soon after you became a Blackadder co-writer from series 2 onwards. You effectively saved Blackadder after a lackluster and boring first series, completely changing the persona of the protagonist, Blackadder, to being far more cynical and thus far funnier. You also wrote other T.V. series later on, and numerous books, and recently relocated to Australia. But in my mind, your greatest accomplishment was saving Blackadder, changing the show from being mediocre to being one of the greatest T.V. shows of all time, simply by joining the writing staff. In honour of this, twice in the game at night you may attempt to save another player. Any kills targeting that player on that night will fail.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Pamela Stephenson
New Zealand-born, you featured in the brilliant Not the Nine O’Clock News in the late 70s and early 80s. More recently you have turned your hand to clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Your interests in this field are wide, ranging from various traditional pathologies to human sexuality, which you are quite the expert in. In the process of your extensive psychological study, you’ve gained the ability to read people rather well. Thus, once in the game, at night, you may investigate another player to determine whether they wish good or evil upon the town.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Dawn French
You met Jennifer Saunders (…) in what were essentially your university days. You went on to collaborate on the highly successful sketch show French and Saunders where you parodied various elements of popular culture. Later, you went on to star in the Vicar of Dibley, as Geraldine Granger. Geraldine was a vicar who loved chocolate, Sean Bean, and sexual innuendo. She also enjoyed flirtations with both David Horton and his brother, and was like a surrogate mother to Alice, the verger. You’ve done rather well for yourself romantically for a proud fat girl, you’ve (apparently) made out with Hugh Grant, Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Brad Pitt as well as your husband Lenny Henry. You do stay true to your roots, though. You know Jennifer (…) would never do anything to hurt the town. Also you can chat to her on your mobile at any time here (and only here):

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Jennifer Saunders
You found fame alongside Dawn French (…) in French and Saunders. You sent up many a film and T.V. show. Later on, you starred in the fantastically trashy Absolutely Fabulous, alongside Joanna Lumley and Julia Sawalha (who was also in Press Gang and Chicken Run). Press Gang’s rather good by the way, although not a comedy. Anyhow, Absolutely Fabulous was such a camp show it had a tribute track made by the Pet Shop Boys, later adopted as the show’s theme. It can be viewed here:

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Rik Mayall
You starred in The Young Ones- an alternative comedy featuring a rather punky and anarchic aesthetic. You played a university student, but most of the show was set in your horrible share-house, occupied by your character Richie, who was obnoxious, camp and whiny; Vivienne (Adrian Edmonson), the macho punk with a girl’s name; Neil, the dirty hippy; and “Mike”- a sort of fill-in “cool person” role who had no good lines. The actor who played him quickly faded into obscurity at the conclusion of the show’s run. You took the character of Richie to new heights in the later television series Bottom, which starred yourself and Adrian Edmonson; in not altogether different roles from those you’d played in The Young Ones. Bottom featured even more violent slapstick and jokes about your lack of endowment. This is fairly typical fare:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyf2B5n_B2s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy0HGvCa ... ature=fvwp. You’ve also appeared in spinoffs from Bottom such as the movie “Guest House Paradiso” and the “Bottom Live” show. Earlier on you appeared in Filthy Rich and Catflap (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzCXO8SO ... re=related), and The New Statesman, both of which left their mark on the comedy landscape. You do not have any special abilities.

At least that is how your role pm would read if you were in fact town-aligned, but you are not. You are scum with Ricky Gervaise (…) and John Cleese (…). You may chat here (and only here) at any time:

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Ricky Gervaise
At the end of college, in the 80s, you tried to launch your synthpop career. It lasted two singles. You resurfaced in the 90s on the T.V. comedy circuit- writing and appearing in sketch comedies, and starring in “Meet Ricky Gervaise”, which was almost as short-lived as your music career. In the next millennium you wrote, starred in and co-directed the smash T.V. comedy series The Office. It found humour in extremely embarrassing contexts in the workplace environment, but maintained a strong sense of pathos for its lead characters. You became The Next Big Thing, and only continued your success with Extras, which featured a celebrity guest in every episode. The ultra-camp Bunny was an enduring favourite character. You also profited greatly from the U.S. spin-off of The Office. More recently you’ve turned your hand to appearing in generally bad films, and even directed your own bad film recently- The Invention of Lying. You also had some awkward moments with Garry Shandling. Ouch. You do not have any special abilities.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are John Cleese
A living comedic treasure, you need no introduction. If appearing and writing in the appallingly popular and influential Monty Python troupe wasn’t enough (it is), you later created and starred in Fawlty Towers, where you played on the manners of an ultra-rude hotelier. Later, you co-wrote the script to A Fish Called Wanda and starred in the film as Archie Leach. It found enormous success both in the U.K. and U.S., outdoing any of the individual Monty Python films. Dead parrots indeed. You claim not to suffer from bipolar disorder but I have my suspicions. Having done the voiceover for Monty Python, you are also instantly recognizable as a voice actor, even when you pop up in games like Douglas Adams’ Starship Titanic. You do not have any special abilities.
And now for something completely different. That is how your role pm would read if you were in fact town-aligned, but you are not. You are scum with Rik Mayall (…) and Ricky Gervaise (…). You may chat here (and only here) at any time:

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Chris Barrie
You appeared in the great BBC sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf across all eight seasons (in fact you were missing only from the latter half of series seven). In it, your character, Arnold Rimmer, was known mainly for being unlikeable, unsuccessful (both career- and love- wise); and a hologram. You performed brilliantly in the role, from your pompous salutes to pathos over your treatment by your parents and the world at large. You also turned into a pacifist/negotiator/”facilitator” figure in Polymorph, with hilarious consequences.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irt18dhF ... re=related. You also starred in The Brittas Empire as Gordon Brittas. Frankly, that show is shite. Really shite. You were also Lara Croft/Angelina Jolie’s butler in the Tomb Raider movie. Not bad for such a smeghead (or, as Kryten would say, a smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed). You do not have any special abilities.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Stephen Fry.
You made your name in shows such as A Bit of Fry and Laurie and starred in the brilliant Blackadder, primarily in seasons two and four. More recently you’ve been amusing us with shows such as the hilarious satire of a P.R. firm, Absolute Power (where you play the director or something). You also host a panel show titled “QI”, standing for “quite intelligent”, in which you ask questions which expect obvious, but incorrect answers- when they are given you promptly punish the relevant contestant. You also hosted a documentary, Stephen Fry in America, which was interesting and entertaining if a bit of an obvious suck-up job tailored to appeal to both the British and American markets. You’ve also made a documentary on bipolar disorder, which you suffer from, and which caused you to infamously flee the stage while performing in Cell Mates in the 90s. Even more recently, you pissed off a lot of Polish people. You do not have any special abilities.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Rowan Atkinson.
You discovered you had a passion and talent for comedy in your school and university years. You perfected a great live show after leaving university- with the vicar sketch being particularly memorable. You went on to perform in Not the Nine O’Clock News and by this stage were a veritable star, threatening to up-stage and outshine the other performers. Blackadder went on to prove (if there were any doubt) that you had a penchant not just for physical comedy, but for extremely dry delivery of some of the wittiest lines ever penned. In the 90s you turned your hand to Mr. Bean, where you restricted yourself to purely physical comedy by playing a virtually mute character. This show had its own charm, the physical comedy being more basic but perhaps appealing to a wider audience as a result. You then starred in the film Johnny English…actually we promised not to talk about that, didn’t we. You do not have any special abilities.

Welcome to British Comedy Mafia, you are Harry Enfield
“right y’are Perry, sorted”. To be honest, I don’t know that much about Harry Enfield, he’s more of a filler character than anything. He was hilarious in my Great British Comedy Moments DVD though, where the above line is taken from. You might want to do some of your own research. You have no special abilities.
