Over the next decade, Footlights members came to dominate British comedy, creating and starring in shows such as "Not Only... But Also", "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", "At Last the 1948 Show", "That Was the Week That Was and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", forming comedy groups such as Monty Python, and The Goodies, and generally fuelling the satire boom. During the 1980s, Footlights reinforced its position at the heart of British comedy. The 1981 revue, featuring Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tony Slattery, Penny Dwyer and Paul Shearer, won the inaugural Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and spawned Fry and Laurie, the first in a long line of popular and successful double acts formed at the club including Armstrong and Miller and Mitchell and Webb. Their revue, The Cellar Tapes, at St Mary Street Hall was billed as "the annual revue: one of the strongest casts for several years, has already toured in southern England with great success."
