The Actress and the Bishop is a creator-owned British comic story, written and drawn by Brian Bolland. It tells the whimsical misadventures of an actress and a bishop living together in suburban England. The characters have made rare appearances in various anthologies; as of 2025 four stories of varying lengths have been produced between 1989 and 2022. The strip features only occasional dialogue; instead, most text is told in rhyming narrative captions.
