The Bottom live show is in a category of its own. It is not really a play, its not stand-up comedy and its not just a re-hash of the TV programme. The closest thing I can think of is pantomime, albeit a very violent slapstick pantomime.
The stage show makes a virtue of recycling lines and jokes from previous tours with certain set-pieces treated by the audience in the same way as when a band play their biggest hits. The crowd reaction to Pink Floyd playing the first notes of Comfortably Numb is nothing compared to the Bottom audience when the legendary cricket bat makes it's appearance!
Just like a panto the audience play a large part in the performance, with the 'actors' frequently breaking the fourth wall to talk to them directly.
The humour is unsophisticated - but more clever than it pretends to be. Those who are put off by the high levels of weapons-grade swearing and toilet humour are missing out on some serious laughs. Despite having seen all the live DVDs several times I can guarantee that watching them again will have me crying with laughter

This dvd contains the first two live bottom shows and although the subsequent three shows all have a fair number of laughs, the first two are comfortably the best. Both carry on from the tv shows in being set within Eddie and Richard's grotty flat and have stories that are an extension of the kind of antics they used to get up to on tv, except with the freedom of not having the BBC dictating what they can say and do, there's the added benefit of some good quality adult laughs.
The laughs come at a fast rate and even more so when they forget lines and ad-lib. Although it's often been pointed out that a lot of the ad-libbing is as scripted as the rest, that doesn't matter when it's this funny. Even better, this is one of those rare shows that can be watched again and again and still be found funny. I wore out the video of these two shows and had to buy the dvd, and that's been watched several times.
If you've seen the tv series and liked it, you can't go wrong with this dvd.

bottom gone blue
Bottom was always low brow humour,it was proud of that fact and their live shows raised that fact further and threw in material that was far too adult for the television... Read more

The best of the Bottom live
This was the best of Bottom Live. Live 1 was good, but not as edgy or refined as this one.
