About This Movie

So, Rikki Fulton’s Reverend IM Jolly And Friends is a real treat for those who appreciate vintage Scottish comedy.

The pacing is relaxed, allowing for moments of introspection that contrast beautifully with the absurdity surrounding him. It’s fascinating to see the practical effects and stagecraft that were used back then, adding a tangible layer to the humor. Fulton’s performance really captures that unique Scottish sensibility, blending pathos with punchlines in a way that's distinctly his own.

This film marks a significant moment in the preservation of Scottish comedy, especially for fans of Rikki Fulton.
