Ricky Gervais is a Comedic God! If you have not seen BBC’s The Office, go rent or buy it now. I can’t even watch NBC’s US version of The Office for fear that it will taint the love i have for the original. Friends have said they tried watching it but could not get passed the first episode, well i do agree Episode one was slow, but Episode two and on kick into high gear!
So Rickey Gervais has brought his Live Stand-up Show ‘The Out Of England Tour’ to the states in LA and NY only. The tour will be filmed for an HBO special and tickets are on sale now; July 11 & 12 at LA’s Kodak Theatre and July 14, 15 & 16 at New York’s WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Funny, but old material. If you have seen Animals - his stand-up show or 2003 dvd of it, then you have seen more than 1/2 the material. Disappointing Ricky. Wish I didn’t go, not only because I had seen most of it already, but because I expected him to be able to come up with new material.

Timmy- i felt that same disappointment when I went and saw Jay Leno at the Magic and Comedy club in Hermosa Beach. He did the same routine I had heard two years prior. i t was totally annoying.

Agreed! It was cool to see him live, but I had heard EVERY SINGLE joke already. It’s not quite as funny the 4th time around…
Pretty disappointing.

This is ludacris,
How dare you muppets dishonor Ricky like that. As previously mentioned… He is a comedic GOD. If you only had a fraction of the intelect, wise cracking, gold tongue like Ricky.. you would validate his joked. For a comic, telling Ricky to never repeat his material, his ” work” it would be like telling your fat american arse to not wear the same t shirt more than once, or to not order the same triple whipped, low carb, sugar free latte again on your next visit.
RE EVALUATE YOUR COMMENTS… OR ELSE….

Even though he used old material, it was still hilarious and thrilling to see him performing live. I would liken it to seeing a band you love in concert. Sure, you may know most of the songs, but it’s still exciting. I thought the crowd on Saturday night was slightly more enthusiastic, and this brought out more from his performance. I thoroughly enjoyed it both nights. Can’t thank you enough for coming, Ricky!
