The Talking Bottom podcast will host a one-off live show at the Edinburgh Fringe this August joined by a very special guest - actor and comedian Lee Cornes, Bottom’s sneering pub landlord ‘Dick Head’.

Talking Bottom (‘Podcast of the Week’ - the Guardian, Metro) began in 2018 to celebrate Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson’s outrageous 90s hit BBC sitcom, Bottom.

Written by and starring much-loved anarchic comedy double act Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, Bottom combined nob gags, Beckettian nihilist humour and cartoon-style slapstick that continues to delight and disgust audiences today.

Over 30 years since reprobates Richie and Eddie first hit TV screens, podcast presenters Paul Tanter, Angela Pearson and Mat Brooks have written Talking Bottom: A Guide To The Cult Sitcom (out 3 July, via Unbound) and are now bringing their popular podcast to the Edinburgh Fringe.

Talking Bottom’s Ange, Mat and Paul said: “Rik and Ade shaped our funny bones with their frying pan wielding violence and rude wordplay. We hope fellow comedy fans will join us for a unique interview with comedy legend Lee Cornes. We’ll probe Lee about his early gigs at The Comedy Store in the 80s, his roles in Red Dwarf and The Young Ones and, of course, his time playing swindling no-good pub landlord Dick Head in the greatest sitcom ever made - Bottom.”

Fans have just one chance to see Talking Bottom LIVE with special guest Lee Cornes at Underbelly Bristo Square at 3.10pm on Sunday 24 August this Edinburgh Festival Fringe. To book tickets please visit underbellyedinburgh.co.uk
