Although it's by a very notable artist, this comedy album itself appears to fail WP:GNG. I have not been able to find anything close to significant coverage to establish notability. (A search for this album also brings up some results for a 1992 album which is occasionally called the same, but more often called Rowan Atkinson Live!; that does seem to be a different album altogether.)

Merge to Rowan Atkinson. I found some coverage in the British Newspaper Archive - a review of the album from the Ealing Leader and a couple of articles about the tour of the same name. Given that neither the tour nor the album are currently mentioned in the Rowan Atkinson article, I would suggest that a merge there would be appropriate, along with the addition of a discography given his two live albums, live video, compilation albums, singles and appearances on other releases. --Michig (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. I can't remember why I created the article and will likely never expand it. Adding the info to Rowan Atkinson and creating a discography (or adding it to his filmography) seems like a good idea. MClay1 (talk) 22:25, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rowan Atkinson: Barely found anything about the album. Nothing to merge. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 15:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Rowan Atkinson. I have a feeling that this album may well have been reviewed in the UK music press at the time... albums by what were seen as "alternative comedians" during the 1980s often received a fair bit of attention. However, there's no chance I'm going to be able to check any of this in the foreseeable future, so a merge is the best course of action for now, and if I do find something substantial one day, this can always be recreated... it's not like there's much information here being lost.

Update: there's an 8 out of 10 review of this album in the issue of Smash Hits dated December 2 – 15, 1987. Richard3120 (talk) 02:05, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
