Alexei Sayle. “Who’s that fat bastard?” 🤣 This sketch is from “Alexei Sayle’s Stuff”, a surreal, satirical BBC comedy show that aired in 1988, known for pushing the boundaries of British humor. In this skit, Sayle plays a sharply dressed stud… until makeup turns him into the famously grumpy, overweight version we all recognize. Classic ‘80s satire meets modern meme energy — and it still hits HARD. 😂 🇬🇧 #AlexeiSayle #BritishComedy #BBCComedy #ComedyLegend #ThrowbackLaughs #1980sTV #SketchCome

Where do you think Alexei Sayle, the face of 1980s alternative comedy with a 'convict haircut', stayed when he was performing at the Fringe? In a shabby caravan in the Edinburgh hills of course... here, he returns to the very spot to check whether it has been preserved for the nation. The brilliant documentary The Fringe, Fame and Me tells the story of the stars who found fame in Edinburgh, in their own words – including Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Michael Palin, Emma Thomps
