1. Stephen Fry and Rik Mayall were appearing in a play together - then Stephen had a breakdown and ran away to Belgium without telling anyone. 2. At the end, Rik was doing an impression of 1970's sitcom character 'Rigsby' from 'Rising Damp' (Miss Jones...etc) and 'Eddie' acted as if he was doing an impression of another 70's sitcom actor, Reg Varney and complemented him as a backhanded way of saying how bad Rik's Rigsby impression was

But to this day I still find it incredibly difficult to comprehend that Rik isn't here. As a '90s kid growing up watching his comedy and just appreciating his writing and acting, he showed me that we never have to grow up. Life shouldn't be without him. Bollocks.

Rik and Ade started these live shows after the success of the TV Sitcom. They toured the country performing the same Live show at several theatres, recording one performance for VHS / DVD release. The video you're watching is a cut of the bloopers from the first 3 live show tours. There's a few Bottom Live shows. And a couple of TV sitcom seasons (or Series as we'd say in the UK) There was also a film, Guest House Paradiso. The Sitcom, called 'Bottom', was aired in the mid 90s and came after Rik and Ade had become household names from being in The Young Ones and Filthy, Rich and Catflap etc. they were also known as The Dangerous Brothers. What you're watching here are the bloopers from all the live shows edited together, they're 'mistakes' But, what a lot of people don't know is that Rik and Ade wrote in a lot of the mistakes into the script because they knew they'd get massive laughs. like Eddie telling the crowd he was born in Southampton, he wasn't, he told every crowd he played in front of that ue was born there. Rik Myall - is one of the greatest Comedians of my life time and I miss him everyday. He'd pop up in all kinds of shows and always steal every single scene.

I remember learning they did this for the first time. I had been at their first night in Nottingham for the 2001 tour, and the second night was the one recorded for the home release. Seeing them repeating mistakes ("slidle slidle slidle") did take a little of the sparkle out of it, but fuck it it made us laugh and that was the point!

I'd agree Rising Damp is worrth a watch - Leonard Rossiter was a class actor who had a flare for comedy acting. I felt On The Buses was pretty dire, and very much would only be entertaining to people stumbling back in from the pub. But, each to their own - some people obviously liked it as it got 7 series and at least one movie.

@RenaissanceEarCandy 6 месяцев назад

Yes, all bottom episodes were recorded in front of a live audience. However these stage shows had a much bigger audience of thousands. The normal studio-recorded episodes would've had an audience of a few hundred. That's the thing with British sitcoms. Every time you hear a laugh track on a British sitcom, it is always real. I don't think there's a single British sitcom with a fake laugh track. If there is one, it's always live. If it's a sitcom unable to be filmed in front of a studio audience, they'll show the finished show to an audience afterwards (a live screening) and record the laughter that way. Either that, or there's no laugh track at all, as with The Thick of It or Afterlife.

@streaky81 6 месяцев назад

They're often recorded to tape then shown to an audience and that is recorded as. Bottom was one of those cases. Laughter tracks are utterly fraudulent and British audiences (rightly) hate them - there have been a few though.

@stewedfishproductions7959 6 месяцев назад

This was the stage show of 'Bottom' and was produced to be on a similar vein (but very adult version), of the British 'panto' (or pantomime) which is played in theatres throughout the UK, at Christmas time. A traditional panto is for children, but with loads of adult gags and inuendo (double entendre), which 'go over the heads of children). Adult (very blue) panto's are also performed... a few live (recorded) shows are on YT and worth watching especially Jim Davidson's... EDIT: I wrote this before getting to the part were you (Connor), mentioned pantomime - Duh!

Reg Varney was on a sitcom in the '70s. The impression was NOT of Reg Varney... so it couldn't have been "the best Reg Varney " Eddie had ever seen, i.e. he is indicating that the impression was crap. It was actually meant to be an impression of Rigsby from Rising Damp - a different sitcom altogether.

@iantellam9970 6 месяцев назад

Years ago Stephen Fry had a nervous breakdown and disappeared just before he was due to be in a play with Rik Mayall - so the joke here is that Mayall caused it. It was topical and widely reported at the time the show was on (mid 90s - early 2000s probably), but the reference is a bit obscure by today's standards. Bottom was always filmed in front of a studio audience, as you can tell from the outtakes. But it wasn't a theatre production like the live shows were.

@experi-mentalproductions5358 3 месяца назад

This video features clips from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd live shows, which were from 1993, 95 and 97 respectively, (They did 2 more in 2001 and 2003, and a feature film in 1999), a good rule of thumb is the longer Rik's hair is, the later it was recorded. And yes, the TV show was filmed infront of a live audience, although obviously never an audience as big as the ones you see here, maybe 100 people or something like that.

The Bottom Live tours were legendary, there really wasn't anything like them before, and there certainly hasn't been since. You're right that in some ways it's a bit like panto - except it's for adults (well, uni students I guess were the key audience) and actually good. The best one is the one where they almost blow up the queen, the recording of which is almost completely ruined by a screamy laugher somewhere near the front; somebody should remaster them and cut her out tbh.

After the TV series (which were filmed in front of a small live audience) they took the show live on tour, which is what this is from. "Pat-a-cake" is a children's nursery rhyme. Stephen Fry got bad stage fright during a run of a play with Mayall and ran away to Belgium. Angus Deayton is a British TV personality and former panel-show host. The bit from 12:15 on goes on quite a bit longer than that and is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on RU-vid. And Rik did an impersonation of British comic actor Leonard Rossiter, and them Ade came back saying it was a great impression of a different British actor, Reg Varney. The two of them were hilarious together. RIP Rik - gone way too soon.

Some of the older comedy sitcoms around the early 90s have done a small theatre productions a bit after being aired on TV (obviously), one of the more recent ones to do this is 'Only Fools and Horses' (not the same actors on this particular one like you see with Bottom here). This is a rare occurrence though, out of the dozens of comedy sitcoms, even from any era since or before, I can guess there is only about 3 or 4 to do this sort of transition from TV screen to Theatre (typically the theatre version only lasts a few years, if that).

The tv show was recorded ina studio in front of alive studio audience, the bottom live shows were recorded at various thetres up and down the country. They would tour with these live shows from the early/mid 1990's up until around 2003-4 and even on the live stage shows where they werent recording for vhs/dvd release, they would fuck up and break character just as much. The whole world lost a brother when Rik Mayall passed away. I think Ade is a bit lost without him. They were a duo for 40+ years and even after all that time were genuine friends and they got each other, thats why they worked so well together. And although what they did in these shows might nit have come across as professional, it was. They had every little bit of their routine fine tuned down to the last drop. I dare say even their ad libs and other off the cuff remarks were even rehearsed and kept in the back of their brains for when needed. What they made look very easy was actually very hard to do and accomplish. They deserved more recognition than they ever received.

The laughter is mostly because Rick forgets his lines and everyone loves him for it. When he was in the yongones kids would run up to him in teh street and go Rick, Rick, swear at us! It is pure slapstick humour at grass roots. This is pure genius humour, don't stress that you don't "get it" as a lot of non brittish don't. The humour is very potty and high brow at the same time.

You really dont get the best view of the live shows just watching clips of it, you really need to watch the whole thing. 😂😂😂

You asked when was this. This is actually clips of 3 seperate shows (there are 5 in total) the 1st was filmed in 1993, 2nd in 95, 3rd in 97. The other 2 that are not represented in this video were filmed in 2001 and 03

8:43 That joke isn't an insider British joke about Angus Deton it's an autocue joke which is pretty universal, but honestly what did you expect it's a British comedy show aimed at a live British audience.

The later ones they did write in them 'messing up', the early ones didn't. You could always tell when it wasn't scripted because of Ade laughing, like the last bit.
