Memories of Rik

During the inaugural Rik Mayall Comedy Festival, we created a special project, asking visitors to fill in “Memories of Rik” postcards over the 8 days.

We were bowled over by the response. More than 200 people contributed, sharing tributes that were funny, moving, and personal.

Some came from people who knew Rik, some from those who met him in Droitwich as children, and others from family members, comedians, artists, and lifelong fans.

Here is a selection of those cards. Thank you to all that contributed. You can continue the project online by sharing your memories of Rik at the bottom of this page.
