Stephen Frost

From Free net encyclopedia

Stephen Frost (born December 28, 1955) is a British comedian perhaps most famous for his work in the 1980s with Mark Arden as part of the double act The Oblivion Boys on Saturday Live. Veterans of the alternative comedy scene, he and Arden appeared regularly in The Young Ones, and later had their own TV series Lazarus and Dingwall on BBC2.

The duo were perhaps most famous for appearing in long-running series of commercials for Carling Black Label lager. The first of these adverts spoofed the now-legendary "laundrette" commercial for Levi's and introduced the catch phrase "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label".

Stephen is a veteran of the Edinburgh Fringe. In 2003 he appeared in Guy Masterson's sell-out production of 12 Angry Men alongside Bill Bailey.

He has guested many times on Radio 4's Just a Minute, and the television shows Have I Got News For You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Whose Line Is It Anyway?. He enjoyed a famous cameo in an episode of Blackadder as the overly-cheerful head of a firing squad.

He is now resident compere at the East Dulwich Comedy Club and a regular on the London comedy circuit.

Stephen was born in Cornwall and is the son of the late abstract artist Sir Terry Frost and brother of painter Anthony Frost.Template:Comedian-stub
