The Cheese Shop were a troupe of six comedy writer-performers from the revue circuit of Warwick University.

Between 1997 and 1999, Gerard Foster, Dave Lamb, Gordon Southern, Tim Verrinder, Ben Ward and Richie Webb appeared in three series' of their comedy sketch show The Cheese Shop Presents: The Butter Factor on BBC Radio 4.

This show featured a number of sketches based around eccentric and outrageous characters, including drug-addicted and sexually deviant singer-songwriter Ted Ruby, maniac gardener Jack Finsborough, petty official Miles Stoat and an unnamed but inexperienced vet ("'Tortoise', you say? Hmm… I must write that down...")

Ben Ward, Gerard Foster and Richard Webb also took part in the Saturday morning children’s TV programme Live & Kicking, as the Men In Trousers.

Dave Lamb and Richie Webb went on to contribute to Asian comedy show Goodness Gracious Me.
