Greg Davies first time I met Rik Mayall

comedy legends meet, for more go to -------- • Warsteiner [ bottle ] ...

[@openviews]

Would have loved to have seen Rik on Taskmaster.

[@johndoe9627]

My god yes. Can you imagine? Absolute carnage.

[@dixieflatline1189]

Rik was a both whirlwind of manic energy and a master of comic timing. He could make people laugh by raising his eyebrow. Today's comics, not so much...

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

It's eerie how much I see Rik Mayall in Greg Davies only a bigger version.... Davies is funny, but different type of energy that Mayall had.

[@MrBaronCabron]

There's clearly a lot of influence, yeah

[@Welshwarrior85]

Rik wasn't human. He was a force of nature. There'll never be another.

[@raymondnichols4564]

Have you learned nothing? How can the People’s Poet be dead when we still have his poetry?

[@lisaa6099]

I loved Rik god he was so funny

[@lucyroberts2800]

There is a definite rik vibe from Greg i liked rik for many years he never had to actually say anything and Greg has this quality .

[@davidjones6470]

A Real Gentle Giant, And one very Funny Fella, Excellent little clip, 👍

[@georgemcdougall7260]

Greg Davies literally looks like rik Mayall

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Alan B'stard 😢

[@ShadowReaperX07]

They say "Never meet your heroes" Not true of Rik; testament to how good he really was.

[@MrOllieBD]

A lovely and humorous story. Such a shame he was forced to tell it to that table of morons. I mean, “Was he charming?” What the fuck kind of question is that?

[@wingsoffreedom6265]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the full video of this? or full show?

[@twmlloyd5257]

Think its saturday kitchen or something similar , bbc 1 saturday mornings

[@xgreenjacket]

If you can get bbciplayer wherever you are. It’s prob on there

[@honeybeebadger]

How tall is this bloke!

[@lRlMlGl]

6'8

[@1Three8Fiver]

Rik Mayall was a legend true enough but combined with the awkward middle class laughter and condescending "ahhs" this was one dull and really unamusing anecdote.

[@MrDavey2010]

Mmm. Never sure about Rik Mayal’s true character. Not sure about Greg Davies either. Think they were both cut from the same cloth.

[@radar_radar]

What exactly do you think his true character was?

[@Lorenzo-cp7qs]

Yep- an amazing cloth.

[@sundaypeople5791]

​@@radar_radar Not exactly. Greg seems to be nice & harmless, Rik can be anything what's inside his soul from strongly kind to strongly evil, I'm quite sure - not just playing!❤😅

[@jonathanwood8847]

What are you trying to say?

[@sundaypeople5791]

​@@jonathanwood8847Are you asking me?

[@russky68]

Rick Mayall was actually funny though..

[@paulgovan3534]

russky68 How I Agree, did Rik say to Davies " One day, you might actually be funny" I can't stand Davies. Just another 'Pretend comedian.' Did you watch any of his 'Comedy' TV series The Cleaner? I don't think that children's TV would have even screened it.

[@russky68]

@@paulgovan3534 nothing happens with him?? Nothing.. just stands there giggling., at WHAT?

[@user-bx7se5ke2n]

Met him then coppied him
