Rick Spleen
Rick Spleen (born Richard Shaw) is a character in the BBC situation comedy ''Lead Balloon'', played by comedian Jack Dee. Spleen is a world-weary comedian who is forced to make ends meet by hosting corporate events.
==Character profile==
Rick is a short-tempered, impatient comedian who struggles to find worthwhile gigs or appearances. He spends a lot of his time writing jokes for corporate events with his friend and writer, Marty who always does far more work than Rick.
He lives in a typical London suburb house with partner Mel and daughter Sam. He is a stubborn, incompetent liar, who often attempts to avoid paying professionals by performing a task himself. He also passes off many of Marty's jokes as his own, and always aims to take credit for other people's work. In episode 2 of Season 3, "Panda", it is revealed that Spleen's real name is Richard Shaw, which caused him much grief at school due to it being shortened to 'rickshaw,' after the Chinese/Japanese transport Rickshaw.
Dee and Sinclair have said that they based the character of Spleen on "comedians who hated being comedians" with whom Dee performed as he was starting his career as a stand-up comic.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2006/oct/16/mondaymediasection8 Guardian article〕
