Tracey Ullman: A Class Act is an ITV sketch comedy television special starring Tracey Ullman, along with Michael Palin, playing a variety of original characters.
The show introduced viewers to characters who would go on to be featured in Ullman's American comedy special and HBO television series: gay flight attendant, Trevor Ayliss, wife to a conservative MP, Virginia Bugge, and future magazine editor, Janie Pillsworth, along with her mother, Jackie.
A Class Act aired on HBO in the United States on 23 November 1993. It acted as a follow-up to Ullman's American HBO comedy special, Tracey Ullman Takes on New York. The HBO cut of the special opens with Ullman ("Filling in for Alistair Cooke") explaining the British class system to the American audience.
