comedy stars

In the past week we lost Sam Kelly and the legendary Rik Mayall. This got me thinking that we never really get to meet such people much at these events, even though comedic actors are very popular in this country. So would anyone else like to meet a Paul Whitehouse or Adrian Edmondson? Inbetweeners cast, or Ronnie Corbett? These are just suggestions of course, but I'd be interested in what other people think.

Stevie, your first post was merged with the main guest suggestion topic in LFACC. We do request that you either use this main topic or the Guest Suggestion section and not open guest requests in the events section for every suggestion. I will move this to the Guest Suggestion area now.

Sorry about that, I thought it was my phone playing up the first time

I would love to, I guess comedy stars don't tend to appear at these type of events though as it tends to be be more Sci Fi related, however, there have been some exceptions over the years although often because of a crossover role into the Sci Fi arena.

 

One of the nicest guests I have met was Richard Briers who was at a LFCC a few years ago. The Good Life was a classic comedy and loved him and Peter Egan in Ever Decreasing Circles.

 

I'm trying to rack my brains for other comedy related guests that have appeared (did Christopher Ryan appear before (have a feeling he may have on a day I didn't go), mainly because of his Doctor Who role if he did) but I think most of the comedy guests I've met have been at Premieres or Stage doors.

 

It would have been great to have seen a Young Ones reunion with Rik, Ade, Nigel, Christopher and Alexi.

I'm a big Steve Coogan fan but I don't think cons are his style.

 

Got his auto on an index card at Autographica in 2012 for a fiver- I don't think he'd be chuffed at how cheap it was!

It was a real privilege meeting Christopher Ryan last year, and would love to get the opportunity to meet more comedy guests - Ade naturally, the Mary Whitehouse experience guys, any comic strip team members, the list goes on. So glad I got to meet Rik 25 odd years ago after Bad News played the Reading festival - just gutted I can't find the photo!
