Comedy With The Brits is a sketch show written and performed by the comedy quartet The Throbbs, consisting of Tim Firth, Tim de Jongh, Michael Rutger, and William Vandyck. The show was broadcast in two series during 1990 and 1991, featuring six episodes each, along with two Christmas episodes.

Similar in style to contemporary sketch shows like Radio 1's "The Mary Whitehouse Experience", Radio 4's "The Skivers", and Channel 4's "Absolutely", it includes quick-fire sketches loosely connected by a narrative thread, often involving taking the audience out of the studio. The show also features songs by Tim Firth.
