User Reviews

Quite funny but definitely not their best

This is Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondsons fifth Bottom live show, and this one is, as always, worth a watch - especially if you are a fan of the two immature old boys :) I won't recommend it for a first time Bottom live show watcher, since this one is weaker than the first three live shows, and not nearly as much fun. But then again it's not as "weak/bad" as the fourth, An Arse Oddity. But not to worry, there's still quite a few memorable moments that make you laugh out loud (for example the scene with "The Evacuator" ... which is a clever little device to be used in stead of a toilet ... Richie is of course the one who test drives it - trust me, this scene will leave your in tears with laughter) - and this live show does contain one of their best and most impressive scenes - the one where they travel 30 minutes back in time with Eddies invented time machine "The Turdis". Thereafter they fast forward those 30 minutes, which means they have to reenact the 30 minutes they have already acted once, and they do this in a very VERY fast pace. I was really impressed with this stunt as it must have taken a REALLY long time to choreograph into perfection. Well - to the plot: In this live show Eddie has invented several thing: The "Time Machine" (The Turdis") i've just mentioned, "Weapons Grade Lager" and "The Patent Painless Tattoo-Remover". And that's pretty much the plot... What other thing, that happens in this show I will leave as a surprise. It's worth a watch, but don't watch it with too high expectation, because this one is not their funniest work.
