  • Young, Gifted and Punk: My Mad Days with Rik Mayall June 18, 2014 6.03Am BST
    Young, gifted and punk: my mad days with Rik Mayall June 18, 2014 6.03am BST The untimely death of me old mucker Rik Mayall last week has prompted a plethora of obituaries in the press and on television and radio. However, as someone who “nearly” grew up with Rik at Manchester University in the mid- 1970s (we never quite made the leap to post-adolescence) his premature death has been a devastating personal blow – as it has, I’m sure, to all those who knew him. As the youngest of the 1975 intake – Rik was only 56 years old when he died – his passing not only uncomfortably reminds us all of our own mortality but has invoked the glorious memories of an age of creative experiment and glorious mayhem. As an undergraduate studying Drama at Manchester University, I first met Rik when both housed in the Manchester University Hall’s of Residence at Owen’s Park, Fallowfield. What united us from the off was our love of the absurd, the irreverent and the cheap burgers from the so-called Armpit – the nearby Canadian Charcoal Pit take-away. Also we both had a penchant for pulling faces, putting on silly voices and like many of our generation, quoting large sections of Monty Python sketches, which were seen as de rigeur for “coolness” in the mid- 1970s. He was a fascinating life-force, not least because he could stick the top of his ear into the hole. The living was easy at that time with generous student grants to ease the squalor of student life – or rather to propagate it.

  • The History of Roadrunner (1978-83)
    THE HISTORY OF ROADRUNNER (1978-83) By Donald Robertson Synopsis This is the story of how an Adelaide punk fanzine blossomed into a well-loved national music magazine that chronicled the glory days of Australian post-punk and ‘pub rock’ music in the period 1978-83. The do-it-yourself ethos espoused by the UK punk movement in the mid-1970s was strongly felt in Australia and inspired bands to form, play live and record and release their own records. The concurrent expansion of live music venues across the country (mainly pubs) meant more bands could live, work and play. Roadrunner was also very much a product of this do-it-yourself ethos. From the bunch of evangelical music fans and writers who initially came together, some left and others joined and as those involved became more technically proficient the magazine developed and grew. With no financial backing (until the final despairing issue), Roadrunner survived for five years due to the combination of a posse of enthusiastic (and usually unpaid) contributors, a creative and understanding production crew, a sympathetic printer, the support of key music industry personalities and— perhaps most important of all—a small but dedicated readership. In 2017, the University of Wollongong in New South Wales made all 48 issues of Roadrunner available in a digital archive (at http://ro.uow.edu.au/roadrunner/). The History of Roadrunner 1 IntroduCtion When Martin Sharp, the internationally acclaimed Australian artist, died in 2013, I read that the University of Wollongong had created a digital archive of the Sydney and London Oz magazines that he was such a part of.

After the recent success of BBC comedies such as Outnumbered and My Family, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen apparently told his team of producers that BBC Comedy was becoming ‘too middle class’, and failing in its responsibility to appeal to working class viewers (Gammell, 2011; Revoir, 2011; Leith, 2011).

    Stand-Up Comedy and Everyday Life: Post-war British Comedy and the Subversive Strain. Christopher Ritchie. Goldsmiths College, London, Ph. D Drama, 1998. - ME Ia- AM GOLDSMITHS 87 0079879 6 Abstract. This thesis "examinee,,, its to life , . stand-up comedy and relation everyday and presents a model of everyday life in the commodity society. It seeks to define stand up comedy and how it works as a performance mode and will offer a definition of the stand-up comedian. It will examine how jokes reflect opinions and attitudes within everyday life and how they can communicate negative cultural myths, stereotypes and ideologies but also reach beyond the merely absurd and comical to present authentic moments that enable us to locate the truth about ourselves. The thesis seeks to locate a stand-up comedy that enables us to understand ourselves in relation to life in the commodity society. The thesis traces a subversive lineage through post-Second World War comedy from The Goon Show through the satirists of the 1960s and Monty Pylhon's Flying Circus to Alternative Comedy and stand-up comedians in the present day. The 'Alternative Comedy moment' between 1979 and 1981 is central to the thesis as is the relation to American stand-up comedy, Punk and the rise of reactionary humour in Britain. Alternative Comedy is identified and placed in a social, political and counter-cultural context. The achievements and failures of this comedy will be discussed with particular focus on the redefinition of the role of women and sexual politics in stand-up comedy and the creation of a thriving London cabaret and comedy scene.

  • Ohman PUNAISET KLOVNIT NIKULIN JA MAYALL
    Mia Öhman Punaiset klovnit Nikulin ja Mayall Juri Nikulin (1921–1997) oli venäläinen koomikko, Rik Mayall (1958–2014) englantilainen. Molemmat nousivat valtavaan suosioon tekemällä sitä työtä jota rakastivat: esiintymällä pellenä. He olivat täysiverisiä taiteilijoita, tietoisia roolistaan oman aikansa heijastajina ja kommentaattoreina ja ottivat työnsä äärimmäisen vakavasti, oli se sitten kirjoittamista, klovneriaa tai draamaa. Onni oli saada yleisö nauramaan – ja illalla mennä kotiin, syödä ja jutella vaimon kanssa, mennä nukkumaan ja lähteä taas seuraavana aamuna töihin. Jari Siljamäki (Klovnerian käsikirja, 2010) on jaotellut 1800-luvun lopulla kehittyneet klovnityypit kolmeen: Augustiklovni tai punainen klovni on se kömpelö, lapsenomaisesti käyttäytyvä ja aina hankaluuksiin joutuva näennäisen hölmö tyyppi, joka kuitenkin sulattaa sirkusyleisön sydämet kekseliäisyydellään ja tavallaan reagoida tilanteisiin. Punaisen klovnin vastaparina esiintyy usein valkoinen klovni, aristokraattinen kujeilija. Esittäjästä riippuen klovnin hahmossa korostuvat eri piirteet, mutta sekä Nikulinin että Mayallin hahmo oli pohjimmiltaan punainen klovni. Nikulin suunnitteli ja esitti numeronsa Mihail Šuidinin (1922–1983) kanssa, Mayallin partneri oli Adrian Edmondson (s. 1957). Kolmas klovnin perustyyppi on music hall- tai vaudeville-teatterin rääsyinen temppuilija kulkuri, jonka tunnetuin esittäjä on tietysti Charlie Chaplin. Chaplinin elokuvia rakastettiin 1920-luvun Venäjällä – ne edustivat juuri sellaista yleisöä herättelevää sosialistista uuttaluovaa
