Comedy career

Edmondson and Mayall were two of The Comedy Store's main attractions under the brand 20th Century Coyote. Edmondson, Mayall, Peter Richardson, Alexei Sayle, and French and Saunders all migrated from The Comedy Store to The Comic Strip joint as their fame soared. The Comic Strip soon established itself as one of London's most popular comedy clubs, and Channel 4 was soon attracted to it. Edmondson and the others were hired to appear in six self-contained half-hour films, rather than stand-up performers. The series, titled The Comic Strip Presents... debuted on November 2, 1982 (the first night of Channel 4). The first episode to be broadcast was "Five Go Mad in Dorset," Enid Blyton's Famous Five parody, drew indignation from some viewers for the way it satirised a children's classic. Edmondson appeared as one of the five stars in the film.

The BBC announced Edmondson, Mayall, Richardson, Planer, and Sayle, all in the same anarchic style as The Comic Strip Presents. (Richardson later decided not to proceed, and Christopher Ryan was brought on to assist him.) The exhibition revolved around the shared house where four students lived during their Scumbag College years. It was announced at the time of its first airing for its vehement slapstick, and the series's faithful followers have maintained a cult following. Edmondson was also featured in a bank advertisement during this period, in what was essentially his "Vyvyan" guise. Following the success of The Comic Strip Presents, Edmondson, Edmondson, and Mayall returned to their "Coyote" dynamic in the Dangerous Brothers' double act "Sir Adrian Dangerous" on Saturday Live (1985-1977). He appeared in "Bad News" as the lead singer "Vim Fuego" in the spoof heavy metal band "Bad News" with his Young Ones co-stars Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, and Peter Richardson of "Comic Strip Presents" in 1983.

Edmondson married Jennifer Saunders, a fellow Comic Strip performer, with whom he has three children: Eleanor, Beatrice, and Freya. Edmondson appeared with Saunders in Happy Families, a rural comedy drama written by Ben Elton that appeared on the BBC and told the tale of the dysfunctional Fuddle family.

Edmondson reunited with Planer and Mayall in 1988, a comedic blow to show business that was also written by Elton. He played "Edward Catflap," a crude, inebriated minder of light-entertainment nonentity "Richie Rich." Edmondson had the same slapstick appearance as Vyvyan in The Young Ones but was closer in personality to his later character "Eddie Hitler" in Bottom. After one series, the show was cancelled. In the fifth episode of the ITV sit-com Hardwicke House, Edmondson was also scheduled to appear alongside Mayall. Despite the negative reception of both press and viewers, ITV cancelled the show after only two episodes and the remaining episodes — including Edmonson's scheduled guest appearance in episode 5 — have never been shown.

Edmondson's The Bastard's Book of the Worst appeared in 1988 as a sequel to How To Be a Complete Bastard. Lord Flashheart, his nemesis to Mayall's character, appeared in an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth in 1989.

In contrast to Mayall's "Richard Richard," Edmondson appeared as "Edward Elizabeth Hitler" on "Richard Richard." The film portrayed the slapstick, crude humour for which the pair had become well-known, but with more in-depth character analysis.

In Samuel Beckett's West End production that opened at the Queen's Theatre on September 30, 1991, Edmondson played Estragon to Mayall's Vladimir. Bottom became a hit, but it was chastised for its often vulgar humour. The show was also converted into five UK stage tours (1993, 1995, 1997, 2001, and 2003).

Edmondson appeared alongside Richard Briers in a black comedy titled If You See God, Tell Him.
