Ricky Grover is a genius. An original thinker, polished performer and an immaculate improviser. He should be one of the biggest names in British entertainment.
I thought it was real that guy I could feel the aggression coming off him haha. So it surprised me if this is an act. Bim only halfway by the way through the video
Among his many talents, Ricky is a master of deadpan . . . I imagine you'd have to come up with something very special to make him laugh or break character.
I worked as a spa therapist in commercial hotels , I sorted Dylan Morans back out for him prior to his comedy show , gave me & a guest complimentary tickets :) Decent bloke
@@thepeckhampoet1909 Now I just have to locate the one where he says 'to me you're like family... but I'll still open you up like a tin of beans'... I wonder if Ricky Grover realises quite how important he is to so many people. I hope so :)
@@kenpudsey6435 I don't know if i've actually seen any of his stand up! But it was always a treat when he popped up in anything... I seem to remember him playing a large part in Jo Brand's tv show... and wasn't he in Lock Stock? The man's a genius :)
@@SeanieVoiceOver you get the same middle class unfunny 'comedians' on the same panel shows (nobody does sitcoms in the UK anymore).. the only one half decent is Frankie Boyle, and he had to be buck broken before he got his slot.
Top man Ricky! He was tucked up during the BFGG film and was let down badly by the makers. He finished the film himself and made something out of it so he wouldn't let down the fellow actors. Always watchable is Ricky.......good on ya Son!
@@robbates3106 Big Fat Gypsy Gangster, watchable but should’ve been great. Apparently Ricky was told that scenes were in the can and it was all going well but they lied leaving him with a mess! Amazing that he stitched anything together but he did! I remember listening to Rufus Hound talk about it and he absolutely loves Ricky for what he did
Not seen this before. Absolutely hilarious. Ricky Grover is brilliant, as always. Michael Parkinson plays a blinder here. He really goes for it and seems to having an absolute blast. When was this shown on TV and on what show? It can't have been on Michael Parkinson's actual chat show, surely.
Love Ricky Grover, brilliant character ( Bulla ) and Ricky Gervais recognised this by having him play a part in “ Afterlife “ . Great British actor 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I remember the Bulla! I think he used to appear on some sort of show on a Saturday morning but I may be imagining that. I love the way he talks about himself in the third person (like a Cesare). Would love to see him live!
His Nan lived next door in Stratford, he was in the same class at primary/junior school as my younger brother, Done well for himself, very talented, does a good haircut as well.
Little known fact that 3 days after this Rod Hull "slipped" off his roof and died in mysterious circumstances. The Emu was last observed leaving the scene in a Caravan travelling towards The Appleby Gypsy Fair for its Annual Carnival. Might be a co-incidence....we will never know..
@@zaprese .Hi there up the creek was just by the swan and sugarloaf pub which is now a Tesco express, up the creek is now an Indian restaurant on the Brighton road . Hope this helps
@@TheJimbojetset1 Perhaps he and his family have moved to pastures new? I once visited him in his home with a friend some years ago, in Barnet, North London.
i don't care what anyone says, 'orrible was quality and sean orlov is one of the great comedy characters. still love watching the dvd. "it's like kris akabusi says"
Would love to see a reprise of the Bulla character. Remember the sketches from Comedy Nation back in the 90's. "Box-innng is.............really...........safe"
@@peterturmer4585 We can take a joke. The guy IRL is lovely, he just has a character that it a looser of a wannabe gangster. It's an act. Very funny when you see his series.
I had no idea the special werewolf that stole my heart was a criminal mastermind and eastend celeb gangster lol. From the Eastend to The Barry Grand Hotel 😂❤❤
Met Ricky in my local gym changing rooms. He dropped something on the floor and I said to him “if you do that again I’ll open you up like a tin of beans”. He thought it was great.

What a brilliant bit of comedy. I am so glad I found it.
This is so spot on. I've met loads of geezers like this.
Brilliant, I love the way he creased Parky up. 😅
Beautiful timing and impeccable deadpanning with that constant underlying threat that he could turn very nasty at any moment. Comedy gold!
Bulla is back! How did I miss this? Remember watching this back in the day. I was in tears. Absolute genius.
@@jabbadabbajew6035 he played a role recently in Afterlife.
Oh my word, I actually remember my dad talking me to watch him on stage when I passed out of basic training and was given 7 days leave, he's a legend
Ricky Grover is a genius. An original thinker, polished performer and an immaculate improviser. He should be one of the biggest names in British entertainment.
I've been telling this to people for ages but they won't listen! x
@@bullaTV Gawd bless ya Bulla, you've always made me laugh when all there was darkness, a real gift upon which you wield happyness.
He’s the fat guy we wanted , but we got Corden .
Gotta agree he’s never risen (for some unknown reason ) to ranks of some comedic personalities that for me r far less talented
Funniest thing ive seen him do was fancy Heather trott
Jesus, I just watched this, and I thought it was real, then looked at the comments. Didn't realise it's comedy😂🤣Briliant!
I thought it was real that guy I could feel the aggression coming off him haha. So it surprised me if this is an act. Bim only halfway by the way through the video
This is amazing! Never seen this before! Excellent stuff. I remember Bulla from about 20 years ago and never saw him after that.
Such an underrated actor. Comedy timing is perfect. Need to see more of Ricky Grover’
This man is a real Gem lol
He did a black books episode!
Damn right, the guy's a legend.
Agreed. And orrible was a great series that was killed by the critics
@@gravyboat2370 I loved 'orrible. If it was on today it would probably be lauded.

What a legend 😎
Comedy genius, loved the stuff with Jo Brand 🤪 showing my age now. 👍
I remember him in an episode of black books.Guy is awesome 😅
I worked as a spa therapist in commercial hotels , I sorted Dylan Morans back out for him prior to his comedy show , gave me & a guest complimentary tickets :)
Decent bloke
Absolutely brilliant, more of these please, Bulla!
I used to teach his daughter at college years ago. Met him on parents evening. Lovely bloke and very talented. Definately needs to be on film more
His mum lives a few doors away from me. Lovely lady.
Never seen this - hilarious. The scream after the Ronnie and Reggie bit got me.
Why is it I’ve never heard of this guy?
Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
“There are times in life when you have to bat and bowl”. Hilarious line 😂😂
This had me in stitches. Michael's reaction makes it even funnier.
First time I've seen this!? 'WAY BEFORE ITS TIME😅😂. A skit before there were skits on tv. Brilliant.
I feel like I've been thinking about this interview for twenty years! Thank you for uploading it and reassuring me that I didn't dream it.
Aye, I remember searching for it and giving up years ago.

@@MatONeill it might have been 'Live At The Appollo' where I saw him do 5/10 minute stand up routine..with other comedians on the show!
This guy has a great sense of humour and is one of us.
Very funny man 🏴🇬🇧🤝
So funny boy you make me laugh when I'm stuck indoors at a time like this keep them up 👌👍😂👊
Thank you that was wonderful
I love this guy.we don’t see enough of this fella.
I must've missed this! Even the cut-down version is hilarious, i want to see the entire interview.
If you closed your eyes you would think that was Ray Winston talking
Yes, your right, but Ray Winston can't act whereas Buller can.
I remember this 😁🤩🇬🇧
Great to see them both💯🎬
"There's times in life when you have to bat & bowl.."...Hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Proper quality!!
This was a very interesting insight into the criminal mindset.
I remember this interview, they cut the laugh track though. :) Ricky mate, you always did make me laugh
I loved Ricky’s joke about his string vest. Never forgotten it.
We don't see enough of ricky grover.......man's a legend
Ricky Grover is not a legend.
But he absolutely fkn should be!
Bulla? Never heard of him! My loss apparently. Subscribed!
He's such a great performer ,he's great in whatever he does .
A comedian that makes you actually laugh.
I liked it, Mr Michael Parkinson liked it & Bulla liked it. Love things like this, makes most people laugh…. More is needed in 2023…..
That's brilliant. Never heard of bulla before.
11 o clock show my man, check him out!
@Dekker Dog Ricky Grover
@Dekker Dog glad I could help, yeah I remember when he was in eastenders and also he is in an advert now with a beagle dog
Ricky Grover, so underrated. I feel he always gets the graveyard shift on TV shows, never the spotlight he deserves.
And accent
Working class comedians get blocked at every level by the middle class metropolitan lovies that run the ents industry
@@SeanieVoiceOver you get the same middle class unfunny 'comedians' on the same panel shows (nobody does sitcoms in the UK anymore).. the only one half decent is Frankie Boyle, and he had to be buck broken before he got his slot.
No stick to the graveyard shift , ffs.😉🏴
@@SeanieVoiceOver Bob Hoskins spoke about this issue as he had to deal with the same.
Great interview Parky trying not to laugh 😂
Ricky Grover. Talented actor and comic. Loved him im 'Orrible - really underrated. Also did a good turn in "Getting On".
Was trying to think of the name of that show with Johnny Vaughan was fantastic
Well done parkie....great send up
Brilliant
Top man Ricky! He was tucked up during the BFGG film and was let down badly by the makers. He finished the film himself and made something out of it so he wouldn't let down the fellow actors. Always watchable is Ricky.......good on ya Son!

Ricky Grover is so underated this made me laugh up my lungs....
Love this……classic.
Parky's best interview ever
I remember the Bulla! I think he used to appear on some sort of show on a Saturday morning but I may be imagining that. I love the way he talks about himself in the third person (like a Cesare). Would love to see him live!
Lennox Lewis used to do the same thing.
Bulla started off on The 11 O'Clock Show on Channel 4 as did Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, for those not in the know, this is Ricky Grover. Funny as hell.
Absolutely delightful.......fucking class the fella is a genius 👏 👍
His Nan lived next door in Stratford, he was in the same class at primary/junior school as my younger brother, Done well for himself, very talented, does a good haircut as well.
Full of shit lol
Absolutely brilliant
Seen Ricky Grover live at Edinburgh Festival. Absolutely hilarious! 😂
Me too WHO'S THE GUVNOR?
Awesome stuff!!! ;)
Great guy already sorely missed, thanks Parky R.I.P
Didn't know he passed away ;

Yes he swung by to pick up grotbags on route
Absolutely wonderful 😂 I guarantee there will be some idiots that believe this is real. 😂
"They didn't want you to see"
Yeah that's why they had him on and interviewed him, the whole thing was a joke you clickbait mong.
do yourself a favour and check who uploaded this video lol...
Bit harsh...
You should leave him, Laura, he’s not worth it. He’s clearly hiding all the books for a start.
You're embarrassing
@@PH-vv1ky You're embarrassing to your mother, stay triggered 😂🤡
This guy is so funny - y on earth do we not see more of him
Loved Bulla, should have been on tv more.
Michael Parkinson can’t stop laughing
He respects Parkinson, but then again I think he is a great comedian.
😂😂 my uncle was playing the spoons 😂
No wonder Parky can't stop laughing. So funny.
He was sweet to me in Parkhurst. Always went gentle. We invented the term 'bromance'. See you around Big Bulla Boy. I'll never forgetcha!
always went gentle 😂😂😂
I'd say Bulla done most of the batting! 😂
"You can't beat a bit of Bulla!" 🎯
You ain' wrong...😕
Loved him as a pyscho fairy in the series "Zapped".
Thats a great show 👌
If you feed Danny Dyer 25 burgers a day for 14 days, you get Ricky.
That’s hilarious. 🤣
Dyer is a fake. He gives it all the hard guy stuff but it's all an act. There's NOTHING hard about Danny Dyer.
@@johnc3403 I only meant in looks...
@@johnc3403 he’s an actor! 🤦🏼♀️
Danny is getting that way anyway
is there a full episode anywhere or is this just a short sketch -- luv bulla; wish there was more of him on telly
I love this.

He’s so much better than Danny Dyer...

never thought of that. I think you may have something there
Are you being a graaaasss? 🤔
He was hen pecked in Peckham anyway poor bastard Bulla probably did him a favour.
Satellite dish my arse
Somebody told me Rods last words were “ roll another joint while I have a quick look at that aerial”
Bloody brilliant
Michael Parkinson was a true TV legend.
Dynamite used to love it when he pulled the screw out from under the bed🤣🤣🤣
I remember him on the 11 o’clock show
I had no idea the special werewolf that stole my heart was a criminal mastermind and eastend celeb gangster lol. From the Eastend to The Barry Grand Hotel 😂❤❤
This will be the one interview old Parky will remember.. Both legends
Brilliant! I can't stop laughing!

Met Ricky in my local gym changing rooms. He dropped something on the floor and I said to him “if you do that again I’ll open you up like a tin of beans”. He thought it was great.
Paul Hart that's funny , which is more than I can say about Ricky grover
🤣
What did he drop, his motivation?
Two lovely and talented people doing what they do best.
I never knew it was Bulla who chucked Rod Hull off that roof!
Keep it between us, be in touch when ive gotta get tooled up!
