Rik Mayall & Ade Edmondson - Waiting for Godot, Box Office interview 

wish someone had filmed the whole play

Saw this on a school trip I think we were all still laughing on the bus home. Honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my whole life.

I wish they did recorded plays for DVD as standard. Imagine being able to see Robin Williams and Steve Martin, and Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson, at will.. Even if they charged the full price of the ticket for it, I'd pay it to be able to see. Not everyone can make it to the theatre, not everyone is old enough at the time.. I'm gutted I had to miss out on this.

I still remember this performance. And how I felt.

As Ruby Wax said... Rik is so beautiful it hurts to look at him. The two of them are absolute babes. Still miss Rik.

Does a full version of Rik and Ade doing this exist anywhere?? Such a shame if it's lost.

I'm here because I listen to 'Talking Bottom'

Learned about this play after watching the Bottom Exposed documentary and promptly bought a copy. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend doing so and imagining Estragon as Eddie and Vladimir as Richie. You will not be disappointed.

God I wish I'd seen this. I was only 8 at the time but still would have loved it

Waiting for Bottom! Would be great to see the whole play with these two.

I have never seen a serieus rik mayalll

"this is just showing off!" oh yes!

I wish I’d have been old enough to have seen this in person. I really do.

I so wish I'd seen this.

The bit at the end with the critics genuinely surprised me. Can't win them all, I suppose.

Every time I see a bumble ad i think it says bumhole

Nice to see some footage

I like the bit when things get confusing with the boots scene.

Actually shocked that the only positive review was, from all places, The Express

This stage show should be televised

worth watching

With Ricks departure and the way the world is now - who cares about what the critics say

Damnation......SILENCES!

Critics know nothing but how to criticize

This was just after my 10th Birthday! I'm also the 8,000th viewer, right on!

Did anyone ever record the whole performance? Would love to see it!

How is this a new interpretation?

Critics being as petty and unselfaware as ever.

Plenty of snobbery in those reviews!

Funny guys, but could they really act? Think the jury's out. Wish I could see this though. It's interesting to hear the comments about the philosophy of their comedy. Deep!

Rik should be estragon, not vladimir. I don't think they did this very well by the look of those clips.

McKellern and Stewart did it much better. Ade and Rik were great, but not in this
