Ricky Gervais Live - Animals [2003] [DVD]

Ricky Gervais is a rare comical breed- he is naturally funny. When he goes up to except an award he only has to say a few lines and I'm laughing along with him, on the Office series two video diary I was laughing all the way through because of the way Gervais knows what to say and how to say it without making it seem rehearsed or practiced. He doesn't need to rely on anything to be funny, only his won thoughts and opinions. Therefore it was a natural progression from The Office to the stage for Gervais and Animals is a genuinely funny from start to finish.Gervais has a unique and hilairious way to look at the Animal Kingdom and he shares it with us which had me in stitches from the moment the curtain went up. I was nearly falling off my seat when he gave his view on Mermaids but the whole thing had me unable to breathe through laughing so much. If you were unlucky enough to miss this then you must get it on DVD, especially if you are a big fan of The Office.Thankfully Gervais has promised he'll do more stand up as he wants to get better- if this isn't his best then I can't wait to see what is.

Bit rubbish. Hes come a long way

Bought as a present, so cant say too much but my son is a big fan

Ok

Well it is Ricky Gervais what else needs to be said

Fantastic first show from Ricky Gervais.The DVD doesnt have loads of extra features but there's a few bits on there and at a price of less than £2 a must have in the collection of any fan

There were a few 'less funny bits' but in general it was hilarious - if you need a hearty laugh, I recommend.

I must say, I expected a lot from this DVD, but all expectations were exceeded. I watched the show 3 times over the xmas period, each time with different company who all agreed this is one of the best stand up shows of the year. Unlike most stand-up (including the magnificent Peter Kay), Ricky Gervais has found a comedy style that is unparalleled; the approach and delivery are unique and have the audience laughing at the most incredible things (such as the bible, and Nazis).RECOMMENDED!!!
