We had front row seats at Portsmouth Guild Hall, and it was 'Bloody Marvellous.' I have been to see 3 of the 5 tours, and this was the best yet, they just seem to get better with age. During a fight scene, Rik hit Ade with a fire extinguisher, breaking his glasses, and producing a rather nasty red lump on his head. In retaliation, Ade shoved Rik, who very nearly landed in our laps, I nearly wet myself laughing. The front row is about 4 feet from the stage, and we were showered in fake teeth, when Rik had them knocked out, what a great way to spend an evening. I can't rave enough, absolutely fantastic. The only down side is that we live on the Isle of Wight, and had to catch a ferry, so we couldn't wait around and meet the lads. Ruth on the Isle of Wight
Me and my friends went to see the bottom 5 live tour in Southend on the first night it opened there and it was fantastic. the timing was superb, there was the odd line forgot but that just added to the fun of it. at one part of it rik fell of the stage although we are not sure if this is ment to happen it was still bloody funny. it was a delight to see them add in a Young Ones segment. when they did this the crowds reaction was unreal as every one or vertually every one there seemed to have a passion for the Young Ones. The fighting in it was fantastic as it was so well timed and the sound effects were to to perfection with the blows. The only downside was at the end when the huge pair a pants are ment to appear, as they were rising one of the ropes snapped and Ade ran backstage to get a broom to try and hold them up for us. There was a segment where we were incouraged to shout at Rik to "have a wank" it was a joy to see Michael P Torr
I went to see bottom on the 8th November in Manchester. What can I say about it apart from it was fuckin' fantastic. It was my first bottom show I've ever been to and it was bloody hilarious. Even though they used some of the same jokes and closing from the last tour it was still brilliant. Nick.P
