Yes I love Ricky!
Have you seen his opening as Hitler at one of the award ceremonies? (Can't recall which one)

I love his inappropriateness

I don't think I have seen that, I will have to have a look. I love all his shows, "The Office", "The Extras", "Idiot Abroad", "Life's too Short". If you have not seen them, all six episodes of his new show "Derek" are on youtube and they are so funny.

Speaking about his inappropriateness. He copped a lot of flak over his new show. People think that his is making fun of autism, however if you watch the show and watch interviews he has made about the show his is not making fun of it at all. He has never said that "Derek" the lead character is autistic he leaves it up to the audience to decide. Whether he is autistic or not he is a beautiful and kind character.

I hope you watch them if you have not already. If you do let me know what you think.

I had a little cry at the last episode of Derek, but don't tell anyone.

A favorite? Nope.

I see very few new comedians.

How about Judy Tenuta?

Whenever the question is left up to the audience to decide if a character is autistic, you can be sure that the creator intended the character to appear autistic.

Thanks for the video. I also love Arj Barker and Ross Noble, especially when they are doing standup. Billy Connolly used to do hilarious standup.

Hahah Yes!
I've also discovered from watching a few episodes of the 'Graham Norton Show' that quite a lot of celebrities (some who'd you'd expect to be a bit brain-dead) are actually quite the comedians!
I couldn't stop laughing at a few of those episodes.
How about Alan Carr on his show 'Chatty Man', he's a bit of a funny fellow.

I have not seen Alan Carr, but will have a look. You should see Liam Neeson and Johnny Depp on "Life's too short"

Have a look at this clip. It's from "Life's too short". Ricky Plays himself and Johnny Depp is getting him back for trashing him at the Golden Globes.

If the link does not work just go to youtube and type in Johnny Depp vs Ricky Gervais Fight.

I hope you find it as hilarious as I do. Liam Neeson is so funny as well.

Hahah very funny, such great actors the both of them!
Well let me tell you now, Alan Carr's show is not the best and neither are his cracks but there's something about him that's very cheeky and will make you laugh every now and then

This is more a favourite comedy team: Matt Lucas and David Walliams of "Little Britain". Okay some of it can
make your skin crawl but they are very clever. With an honourable mention for Tom Baker.

I love "Little Britain". I also love "Black Books" with Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey. I forget who told me about it you or Fran, but I am glad you did.
