  • Rebecca Front (born June 28 1965) is an English comedienne and actress, perhaps best known for her performances in a series of critically-acclaimed satirical comedies in the early 1990s: On The Hour, The Day Today and Knowing Me, Knowing You... with Alan Partridge. Her career has continued across a range of comedy genres into the 2000s with prominent roles in animation Monkey Dust, sitcoms Time Gentlemen Please and Nighty Night, and sketch show Big Train. Front became involved in comedy while at Oxford University. She toured with the Oxford Theatre Group in 1984, taking part in the revue Stop the Weak. The tour played in Oxford itself; the Gate Theatre, Notting Hill; Edinburgh; Salisbury; and Romsey. In 1985, Front teamed up with Sioned William and Jon Magnusson to take the show The Bobo Girls go BOO to Edinburgh. She made a short promotional video on Energy Conservation with Michael Simkins in the late 1980's. Front earned a higher profile due to her work with Stewart Lee and Richard Herring on radio shows Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World and On The Hour and the television series Fist of Fun. She would go on to form a close professional association with Chris Morris, Doon Mackichan and Steve Coogan who all transferred with Front to The Day Today, the television version of On The Hour. Completing The Day Today were Patrick Marber, who was part of the 1984 Oxford University revue with Front, and David Schneider, who took part in the 1985 revue. This cast, minus Morris, would continue to contribute to the Alan Partridge comedy canon throughout the 1990s. In recent years Front has also become a fixture on comedy panel shows on British television and radio including The News Quiz, Have I Got News For You and If I Ruled The World. Front has also had minor roles in The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer and Absolutely Fabulous. She has also portrayed 'straight' acting roles in television drama, including You Can Choose Your Friends, The Rotters' Club, Kavanagh Q.C. , Lewis, and Jonathan Creek. In 2003, she was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. Since 2006, she has been contributing columns to The Guardian. In 2007, she guest-starred in the Doctor Who audio drama The Mind's Eye. She will be playing the new minister Nicola Murray MP in the second series of The Thick of It.
