Red Faces - Raymond J. Bartholomew - Days by the Ocean

[TriskelFiddler]

I laughed so hard I think a little bit of wee came out

[cherrydistortion]

He is just ripping off Rik from the Young Ones.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@cherrydistortion not quite, Rik originally wrote poems about Vanessa Redgrave, his poems were mostly political satires whilst Brian's were just made up crap.

[gupsnot]

@irishgodfatherchris Weren't Rick's poems about Felicity Kendall?

Felicity, Felicity

You fill me with electricity...

etc.etc.

I maybe wrong, it's been a bloody long time since I saw the show and I've smoked a lot of dope since then.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@gupsnot some of the later ones maybe but his really early ones when he started doing stand up with his friends Lise Mayer and Ben Elton he wrote poems about Vanessa Redbvrave and as you know it gradually became poems about Shakey.

[gupsnot]

@irishgodfatherchris Ah, thanks for the clarification there. As I say, I wasn't too sure.

[NewhamMatt]

"Bartholomew" is actually supposed to be spelt "Bartholomeuz". It's a pity they haven't had him back this year (or did I miss him)?

[edaj84]

@NewhamMatt The guy who played Raymond J Bartholomeuz is now on Rockwiz

[aussiewogfob]

@edaj84 you're saying Raymond J. Bartholomeuz is NOT real? LOL

[catatafish100]

@edaj84 he co-created Rockwiz

[edaj84]

@catatafish100 yep :)

[tinnturps]

it was 20 odd years ago but this has been etched into my mind ever since... at the time (was just a kid) this was the funnest thing i'd ever seen

[jo366]

It's spelled "Bartholomuez" not "Bartholomew"

[clairabelle7]

Anyone have the video of him and the little boy?

[IanGorton]

What's the bloke in the box in the middle of Daryl and Ozzie suppose to be an executioner?

[punji73]

he looks like a wrestler of some sort or something, a famous one maybe. He must've been a special guest, its a wonder he wasnt one of the judges on red faces lol

[genericgeorge]

Richard Stubbs*

[genericgeorge]

I still have this on video tape. This was the very first red faces along with Caesar Montini, a fat comedian who ended up on triple m with richard hobbs Dave somebody, some clown juggling, and a chick singing Rockabilly Heaven. From feb '86

[TheHeadHunter824]

[compulsivebitch]

[mattwashere2007]

Gday its matt healey here. Thanks for remembering me. haha. Some good some bad comments. all good. 19yrs old now. So that was my 15mins of fame. Not sure why i did it just got on coffee table when i was 5 and recited raymonds poem. then audietioned and i was on red faces. so there you go. Cheers Matt.

[Noiseworker]

So what are you up to nowadays, Matt?

[prttynpnk84]

@mattwashere2007 You were great, Matt :) It was a memorable performance.

[MS85ToyotaCrown]

I've always thought this guys retarded.

[Beckpatton]

i love this, but also love the version he did with little matty.. so cute!

[clairebeag]

how can we get a hold of the poem with the kid? It was a real hoot

[RT83]

I don't have that one because I'm not a big fan of annoying kids who butcher great comedy acts and receive bucketloads of praise for it.

[toddmckinneyspants]

ah, that's harsh mate, the kid was cute!

[Radars22]

@RT83 - Thumbs up for that!

[liepinshtein]

@RT83 Was it an original that the kit read, or was it a rendition of Raymond's poem with him performing? If it's the latter, I can transcribe it for you. Yes, i'm that generous with my time.

[petejt]

"and tomorrow, I go, to Phillip Island!"

that poem?

[apportionated]

I've been looking for this for AGES!

I think they used to show this guy reciting his poem on the ABC in between programs. Thanks for the memories!

[apportionated]

Sorry, rmdrmd triggered my memory, it was the little kid who did it! :)

[RT83]

The one they used to show on ABC was a version featuring both of them. I think it was an ad for an album of poems they did together.

[RLG07]

To Phillip Island I will now go.

[RLG07]

hehehe Im in love at first word

[rmdrmd]

Does anyone remember a young boy doing this poem on hey hey? or maybe on some other show. he was about 9 years old. i have been trying to find a clip of it for ages. it was even better than this version. anyone? anyone?

[bauman11]

Yep I sure do remember, he was a little blonde kid, he appeared twice reading Bartholomew's poems, I wish I could remember as well....but you definitely have the right show.

[randomtennisball]

His name is Matt Healey and he and Raymond made an album- A Wet Bird Never Flies At Night- together. This poem was on it.

[Jazzles77]

I got to meet Raymond J. Bartholomew a couple of times, one time he played an alien clown in a show called "Wizzy Lizzy" and one time I auditioned for Red Faces and he was there. awesome fellow.

[morphix007]

he was the audience warm up guy for a episode of ocmedy inc i went to at nine bendigo street

[TeddibearsAngel]

i remeber seeing this one on red faces . didnt his son come on years later and do the same one ? so funny

[punji73]

yes he did, i remember that as well lol!!

[RT83]

It wasn't his son. It was some kid called Matt Healey. Totally ruined it IMO, but the judges always went crazy over annoying little brats.

[lukebartolo]

SHAKSPERE'S LOVECHILD

[bexta555]
