Bruiser is a British comedy sketch television show that was produced for BBC Two. It premiered on 28 February 2000 and ran for six episodes, ending on 15 March 2000. The principal writers were David Mitchell and Robert Webb. Additional writers included Richard Ayoade and Ricky Gervais. The BBC writes, "And if the series itself is not widely remembered, it's notable not least for bringing together an immensely talented group of young performers who have since joined the 'A' list of British comedians." In addition to Mitchell and Webb, cast members included Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Matthew Holness and Charlotte Hudson. Due to much of the cast's later popularity, the show has achieved cult status.
