Smack the Pony is sketch comedy television series that aired on the British network Channel 4 from 1999 to 2003. Smack the Pony starred Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips and featured Sarah Alexander and Darren Boyd. The show featured one off sketches as well as several recurring comedy vignettes including videos for a dating agency, the irritating flatmate, a woman who pretended to have diabetes, and a woman who played sports while wearing high heeled shoes.

The show would then close with a musical parody. Smack the Pony was critically acclaimed and earned several awards for its performers and creators.MORE
