3rd Live Performance & 3rd Best; But still great!
If you're thinking of buying this, don't be put off by the people who moan that Ricky Gervais' jokes are offensive and lame.

Yes, they are completely offensive to almost all walks of life, but that's what RG does best. He manages to make you laugh and cringe at the same time, but he can always pull you back and make you realise that they really are just jokes. Anyone who has followed his career will know that he's not a particularly malicious person, so when he's joking about cancer/midgets/homosexuality/fat people etc, he doesn't mean it seriously (except maybe the fat people jokes!)

This stand up is very funny. Don't just compare it to the first two - they all have their own merit.

At the end of the day, if you like Ricky Gervais, you'll like this. If you don't like him you shouldn't even be reading this.

Stick to TV!
Oh Ricky. Excellent in 'The Office', not too bad in 'Extras'...but as a stand-up act? Not your craft.

Gervais is at his best on his podcasts with Karl Pilkington and Steve Merchant. He seems to excel when feeding off others and it's no wonder his podcast is so popular - mainly because of Pilkington mind you!

Fame made me feel embarassed watching it and had to turn off after about 25 minutes. I've no idea why he insists on continuing to mock himself, go on about Africans, mock Christianity and show ignorance when it comes to disease. The ME section was very poor taste and offensive.

Ricky tries to be clever in stand-up but ends up looking a bit of a fool. Shame really.

For die-hard fans only.

Cringe inducing - not in a good way
This show really shows up Ricky Gervais' woeful lack of experience as a stand-up comedian. The lack of structure, the self-indulgent 'corpsing', and the weakness of the material, all indicate a lazy approach which would have a fledgling comic shouted off the stage at any open-mike night at the local boozer. However, this is Ricky Gervais - so well known that he can say anything in a tone of squeaky outrage and it will raise a laugh.

Did he ever actually mention fame? I don't remember. Just a lot of laboured lines about teenage cancer sufferers and old jokes (well, they sounded old) about fat people, gays and foreigners.

Hilarious
This show was VERY funny, so don't pay attention to the negative reviews - it seems they have nothing better to do.

Watch it for yourself and make your own minds up - it was extremely funny and anyone with any intelligence can see none of his material was ever done in a malicious way. I honestly didn't find any of his material offensive at all (including the cancer jokes), and think people should lighten up(!). Cancer affects 1 in 3 people (not just little kids) and if you can't joke about it, I wonder what this world is coming to.

True colours
An insecure performance with unpleasant undertones.Ive never liked bullies and highlighting differences in this way for laughs seems very old fashioned comedy and not very clever.Seems like he saves his best material for TV.
