Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson take to the stage once again this Autumn with the latest instalment of their madcap, physical, live sit-com anarchy - “Bottom: Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour”.

Kicking off on 4th October at Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium the show will offer Bottom fans all the belching, vulgarities and knock-a-bout laughs they have come to expect from the two top comedy stars.

Rik and Ade star as the unscrupulous no-hopers Ritchie and Eddie. The only thing that drives them on in their pitiful lives is scheming to get one-up on each other.

Ritchie is the sleazy one - all oily-tongued and subservient, but as soon as Eddie’s back is turned he’ll be the first one to plot his downfall. Eddie is a little more direct - if there’s anyway he can score, whether it’s money, girls or an advantage over Ritchie, he’ll take it.

Bottom 5 marks the first time that Rik and Ade have performed together since the sell-out tour success of Bottom 2001: An Arse Oddity two years ago. When they get together it’s explosive. Literally. Just ask Dave, the parrot.

Bottom 5 appears at venues across the UK, tickets go on sale from 16th May - full list of dates attached.
