(for more info on rik & nik visit www.rikgaynorproductions.co.uk)ABOUT RIK & NIKQdos booked Rik for a touring show for Haven Holidays it was a Pantomime in the day and a production show at night and he would be top of the bill, the only trouble was they needed to cast another guy that would not clash with Rik so Rik put forward Nik Martin that he had known from years before having rehearsed together for 'Rock With Laughter'. They agreed, thank god they did because magic happened they wrote together a song called the 'Mexican wave' and it became an over night hit in the holiday parks, before long everyone wanted a piece of 'RIK&NIK THE PARTY KICK' they wrote around 20 songs together each one a massive hit in the holiday parks. Rik & Nik were also offered a recording contract by a major label but decided to promote themselves to protect there rights. One of the biggest songs they reinvented was 'The Purple People Eater' they still play that in almost every park in Europe along with other songs they wrote like 'Oodoo the Voodoo man' . . . 'The Caribbean Way' . . . 'The Best Dance Of All Time' etc. etc., Demands on Rik and Nik to perform live got so high that they had to break up in to two teams one in the North of England one in the South, doing thousands of miles a week sometimes three shows a night. It was a shattering tour and Rik and Nik never got to work together again, each one was tugged by different companies to write as individuals but to this day they remain friends.THE SONGS:

www.myspace.com/rikgaynormusicandlyricsABOUT RIK GAYNORRik Gaynor is not just a comedian, singer, producer, director, magician, impressionist, script and songwriter or indeed fire eater, clown and creator of the best holiday park party dances in the UK! He is in fact all those things!Rik left school in the mid 80’s with a clip round the ear, and a stern warning to stop being a clown otherwise he would amount to nothing, so he took there advise and he ran away with the fair, working on the dodgems for a pound a day, he did however progress to working on the merry go round but felt like his life was going round in circles so he packed his bags and headed off home.At the age of 16 Rik became a roadie for his brother John’s comedy show group (Ice Blue)
Part of the deal was that Rik would be in some of the sketches doing impressions of Zippy and George, Norman Wisdom, Rik Mayall etc he loved it! Before long Rik was involved in writing there material and it wasn’t long before he was spotted in his own right by agents keen to sign him up for solo engagements.One of his first was a contracts was at Flamingo Land Zoo and Theme Park, he became the entertainment manager in charge of booking all the acts (well so he thought) in fact Rik had to create brand new shows, and write all the material, as well as direct the whole thing, and mean while in the day time perform a talking Chimpanzee show and if that was not enough fill in as the clown (YES THE CLOWN) and occasionally the Ring Master in the circus.It was at this time Rik learned all his stage skills, Magic, Fire eating etc. One day a scruffy looking man came to watch one of the shows Rik was appearing in, That man was Bill Maynard (GREENGRASS) from Heartbeat fame, he saw Rik and instantly offered him the principle comic role as Simple Simon at The Guildford Civic Hall (Peter Frosdick now UK Productions Producer was then the theatre manager)In the same production the BBC offered Rik a series called Play Days, Rik declined the offer (WHAT A MISTAKE) Michael Barrymore’s office also offered him a summer season at the BIC In Bournemouth he turned that down as well (NOT A MISTAKE) Instead Rik excepted an offer from Jon Conway and Nick Thomas (NOW KNOW AS QDOS) to appear in there production shows of Summer Sensation, TV’S Rock With Laughter and Comedy Express, Rik again learned a great deal from these shows and his contract was renewed year after year until he met up with song writing partner Nik Martin.Rik Gaynor and Nik Martin together formed the duo “Rik & Nik The Party Kick†their songs became an over night success and made them household names within the holiday park industry, there songs have reached millions of holiday makers and continue to this very day.In short has Rik participated in just about every aspect of show business for example he has cruised and performed to some of the best locations in the world for Thompson Holidays, he has been the compare for Miss United Kingdom (What a job) He as played the lead as Roddy in “Boogie Night the Musical†He also has his songs performed frequently on Television, more recently on “Celebrity Club Reps†and “Rock Around The Block†as well as writing jingles and scripts for Radio and Television and if that is not enough he is also now putting the last finishing touches to his very own first theatre musical, which he hopes to produce himself with is own production company www.rikgaynorproductions.co.uk which currently produces game shows, pantomimes, and musicals for major holiday parks, this year alone Rik as produced, written and directed 6 touring pantomimes, and 12 musical review shows performing on a 36 week season.It is however Pantomime that is Rik’s favourite time of the year, he has now appeared in over twenty Pantomimes and has loved every one of them! The best bit for Rik is the slosh scene, many a celeb have caught the wrath of Rik’s famous routine including Dec from “ANT & DEC†Guildford Civic and Jayne Seymour got it at The Bath Theatre Royal plus The worlds strongest man Geoff Capes as had some cream cake at Darlington and at the Pavilion Theatre Rhyl North Wales… Russell Grant got a pie in the eye (he should have seen it coming)Rik is extremely pleased to be in Swansea this year working again with old pals Ray Meager and Barry Daniels as well as a whole new cast who are set to make this year at Swansea a spectacular family pantomime.
