Rik Mayall: Magnificent B’stard
Rik Mayall: Magnificent B’stard is a celebratory documentary that looks back on the life and career of one of Britain’s most anarchic and influential comedians. Through archive footage and tributes from those closest to him, it charts Mayall’s rise from the alternative comedy scene of the 1980s to mainstream success in hit shows like The Young Ones, Bottom, and The New Statesman. The film highlights his fearless, larger-than-life performances while also exploring the more personal side of the man behind the chaos. Ultimately, it paints a portrait of a performer whose irreverent energy and boundary-pushing humor left a lasting mark on British comedy. Featuring contributions from Rik’s friends and collaborators, including Adrian Edmonson, Ben Elton, Nigel Planer, and Stephen Fry.
