Amazingly funny

This live show was their first and definitely one of the best they've made. It takes place at their flat and the storyline is ... well as weird and violent as usual - among other things Eddie will become both Richie's son and wife... you have to see it for yourself to understand. The punchlines and the violence makes up for a one hour and a half nonstop laughing session, and I can ONLY recommend this show. More than the other live shows, this one is close to the series in terms of storyline and "personality", where-as the other live shows go beyond that. If you liked the series I can almost guarantee that you will love this show

This was Great!

This was Great! Slapstick comedy at its ultimate best. Although, the sound effects were obviously pained on and fake, that's the entire point of it. Ade & Rik again pull off a timeless classic. Although the plot seemed strange, and the slapstick looked ridiculous, that's the entire point of it. I must admit, having loved the timeless classic that was the television series, I was worried that the live tours would be a bit of a disappointment, as so many other live shows have been in the past, and I am delighted to say I was very much mistaken. So whether you're a die-hard fan, or whether you just like watching two losers kicking and bashing the crap out of each other, then this is one DVD for you. Ignore that stupid TC Raymond idiot, this is good.

Extremely funny

I've been a fan of BOTTOM and YOUNG ONES for years, since I was 11 to be exact (Im 20 now!!) and I hadnt seen nothing until I saw the BOTTOM LIVE videos!!!!

This is for all you Bottom fans who wanted to see an uncensored Bottom show. There are extremely no limits to this unlike the BBC show. The scenes of Rik and "Monica" had me in stitches and everytime they forgot the lines....... well I split my sides laughing and it shows theyre human!! How ingenious to make forgetting lines part of the show

Watch with caution- you'll be easily offended if you're from Southampton!!!

Masterpiece of stage comedy

I remember going to see this show and Manchester on it's tour. We were absolutely blown away by the script, comic timing and interaction with the audience. Brilliantly clever dialogue and a superb story line. Kept us in stitches all night. So pleased to see Rik Mayal at his best.

this show ruled

the stage show was a brilliant move from the makers of bottom the series. It was just as good or better than the series was. Rik and Ade were said to be as fit as men half their age and i totally agree. i rate this 10 out of 10

Trivia
The live stage show has strong use of the F word. In the BBC sitcom, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were not allowed to use the F word in the sitcom. However, in one show Hole (1995) Eddie uses the F word, but it is bleeped out. The first and only time in the sitcom. Since "Bottom Live" was a live stage show, Rik and Ade decided to get away with it.

Goofs
During the second phone call to the solicitor, Eddie mistakenly says the amount owing is £10,000 when it should be £15,000.
