Norris Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I saw them at Leicester Poly way back when. Pretty good live as well. Ade had a great pair of lungs on him and could play a mean guitar too. I found the ticket a couple of months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 More Bad News, best comic strip ever , closely followed by Mr Jolly. Are we metal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hmmm... it's not that good I'm afraid... Hasn't aged well but by contrast ST has matured nicely... Wry, subtle and clever. Horses for course I guess but the Wogan thing was just embarrassing. I think for me, Ade Edmonson hasn't ever been funny outside of the Young Ones.

bonzodog Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thought bad news was very funny. Also liked dirty movie and the famous five send ups from the comic strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eddie hitter is a better character than Vivian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I used to be borderline obsessed with bad news. Well written, and really funny. The thing to remember is that bad news came before spinal tap (another fundamentally superb observational piece!) Bottom, for me, is the quintessential physical comedy show, and is the logical conclusion of the ideas put in motion in the young ones. I love Rik and Ade's comedy, so regularly enjoy these and more Edited January 3, 2016 by dudewheresmybass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I saw them at the Marquee when it was in Charing Cross road. Great gig for all the wrong reasons. IIR the moment Rik came out he got a (plastic) pint glass right in the face. Even Brian May made an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Maybe we should plug the guitars in and play them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
