    In the original performance, he said "The French? Oh, come and sit here with the Germans!" I don't care what nationality you are, it's bloody funny. If you can't take a joke against yourself then it's a miserable to-do. The Germans I've met would howl with laughter.

      Yes, the show was put on to celebrate the then Prince Charles' 70th birthday, and to raise money for the Prince's Trust - a charity founded by Charles to support 11-30 year olds struggling with school or unemployment and at risk of exclusion.

      You must know that Charles wrote to Spike Milligan saying his Goon Show was his favourite programme, and that Milligan related this at an awards ceremony, describing him as “a grovelling little shit”. I imagine Charles found this insubordination hilarious.

      Absolutely. The originals of both of sketches (The Devil and The Father of The Bride) are the best, but sadly I don't think they were televised, but the audio was released on cassette and I remember replaying it over and over until I memorised those sketches! Some of the lines were altered to allow for newer sensitivities, for example in the original father-of-the-bride speech he uses the word "spastic" as an insult, which is completely taboo now, but to be honest it had much more force in the original sketch and was of its time. Here's that speech sketch. Brilliant! ua-cam.com/video/pFiHVTFmKbo/v-deo.html

The whole show was written by Richard Cutris, Ben Elton & Atkinson himself. (No doubt you'll recognise all the writers!) The performance in Boston was filmed for video release.

    Saw him do this in his brief run stand-up show in London around 45 years ago at the start of his career ... I have a feeling he only did the one tour as a stand-up before the TV stuff really took off, but he was genuinely brilliant and I seem to remember he had Howard Goodall (who wrote the Blackadder theme amongst others) on keyboards behind a weird semi-transparent screen on the stage as well providing back up atmospheric music/sounds. That was one of two comedy shows I'm very glad my parents took me to see (the other being Dave Allen)

      If you love Blackadder, try Jeeves and Wooster... it's similar to "Blackadder the Third", except instead of Atkinson's Machiavellian Blackadder as a butler/valet, you have Fry's magnanimous Jeeves pulling the Foppish Wooster out of problems... a character not dissimilar to Laurie's Prince or Lieutenant George in the next series.

    There is a Radio series called "Old Harry's Game" that I think is on the BBC's Spotify selection. Andy Hamilton plays the Devil as a very cynical bastard of a civil servant and he cited this sketch as one of the inspirations for the series. There is also a (semi) serious documentary on the history of the theological concept of the Devil in TV documentary format somewhere in the BBC archives.

      Old Harry's Game is still broadcasting on BBC Radio 4 extra. I have a few precious recordings on audio tape of this funny series. The stories are close to what you stated. There's the most vile human being, being the devil's plaything. An author writing the historical story of the devil. Plus, other storylines too. All around these central characters.
      One thing here. I fear that this show will end up never being allowed to air if a new law becomes law in this country, if it passes through parliament. They don't write comedies like this anymore. No one would today pass it to be recorded, let alone broadcasted on our Radios.

That's really what kick-started Atkinson's career and although some of the more satirical humour is a bit out of date these days, it's mostly still absolutely hilarious.

    Rowan Atkinson is the best actor when it comes to comic timing. Perhaps an aspect of this is that he has a barely perceptible stammer or stutter, which means he has to manage every line to perfection. I’m an actor with a stutter, but you probably wouldn’t notice. Keep watching Blackadder - each incarnation of the character is very subtly different, while maintaining the cynical core of the persona.

    The 1991 version of this is better, I think. There are a couple of jokes in there that aren't in this:
    The part where he says "the French, are you here?" is followed by "if you'd just come down here with the Germans" 😀
    And at the end he says "it's over to you, Adolf. And I'll catch you all later at the barbecue"
    I'd recommend that whole 1991 standup, it's brilliant.

      Same. The character is more on point, and I think his timing is better as well. Might be due to the difference in audience.

    Does British comedy never get on American TV ?
    You all must think we only have one comedian - Ricky Gervais
    Comedy is practically a national past time in Britain

      To be fair, we don't get a ton of American comedy over here either, apart from the big sitcoms and movies. American stand-up comedians don't feature much on British TV unless they live here. I guess part of the reason is we have so much of our own, we don't really need more. haha

      I think it's the many many different British accents that Americans can't understand, So British TV is difficult for them, and I always see you struggle with words we have, that mean nothing to an American
