i remember sat in the in the new theatre in oxford with some friends waiting for two comedy legends to come out and put on a live show of their sitcom bottom of course i am talking about Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson for bottom live paradise island, and what a show it was.
i have always been a fan of Riks work from the comic strip to man down i was upset that the great man had passed away recently, he was an inspiration to me i wanted to write comedy because of him i loved the arrogant and weird characters he played.
so i decided to look into some of the stuff i hadnt seen like filthy, rich and catflap also rik mayall presents and i must say i enjoyed them both, it has also spurred me on to get my arse in gear and get writing.
sometime stuff like this can open your mind and your heart and Rik certainly touched alot of hearts and he will be missed and occasionally i will get a dvd out watch some young ones or bottom and take it all in and celebrate an icon of comedy who will never be forgotton.
so to finish my little tribute i want you all to think what you want in life he died aged 56 he left a son and two daughters and a wife and an army of fans.
so make the most of life do what you want to do to be happy because you never know how long you have left embrace change and be all you can be.
thanks Rik
Great tribute and sound advice.
