Ricky Gervais Live 3 - Fame (DVD) Reviews

He is a total genius! Literally from start to finish this gig is brilliant. Not only is it very clear his is extremely witty and funny but the way he delivers everything and I mean everything is just spot on. I can honestly say after again seeing a pure master piece from him that I think he is one of the greatest writers and ...  Read the complete review

I love Ricky Gervaise doing stand up, I was never mad keen on The Office but he's always been proper funny when it's just him on a stage telling his rambling and proper funny jokes and stories. I loved Animals so when I saw Fame was on TV last night I thought I'd wait up and watch it even though I wanted an early night. I wish I ...  Read the complete review

I became a fan of Ricky Gervais mainly from his stand up shows and then got into his sitcoms The Office and Extras, and more latley into the podcasts he records with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Ricky does have a very unique style of humour, and I guess that you do either love him or hate him. I of course love him but I can understand why ...  Read the complete review

From the moment Ricky graves the stage in the opening minutes of performance its clear to see he has come 'a long long way' from his foundations which lay in his first creation (the office). Within the first couple of Minutes we are greated with lashings of ego and quite fittingly intro music sung by the man with arguably the biggest ...  Read the complete review

Just when I thought Ricky Gervais stand-up couldn't get any worse here comes Fame. The third and worse stand-up to date Gervais doesn't joke about stories from his career, but chooses once more to be controversial rather than funny. He is introduced through a voiceover who states everything Gervais has won, there is even a giant Oscar on stage. ...  Read the complete review

Ricky Gervais is undoubtedly a very funny (and a very clever) man, in fact, he is my favourite comedian following his awesome performances in The Office and Extras - both hit BBC shows that it seems audiences either love or hate. Gervais' comedy across these two shows is fairly subtle and the funniest moments are those that you may only identify ...  Read the complete review

Ricky Gervais, comic genius behind 'The Office' and 'Extras' returns for his third stand up tour DVD, titled 'fame'. There are two sides to Ricky Gervais - one which I love and one which I hate, and both appear in this DVD. The Gervais I love uses facial gesture, movement and high pitched voices to poke fun at himself, and does so in ...  Read the complete review

As well as writing and appearing in such great comedies as The Office and Extras Ricky Gervais also does a stand up act and Fame is the third of these performances to be released on DVD, I saw it last night on E4 and it was very funny indeed. On stage Gervais is not a joke teller like Peter Kay rather he picks a theme and then talks ...  Read the complete review

I actually became a fan of Ricky Gervais a few years ago after watching the office on TV. I enjoyed the office so much I actually bought bother the DVDs, and the Christmas specials too. After the office finished I was unsure if there would be anymore work for Ricky in the pipe line, so obviously I was very pleased when extras came to our ...  Read the complete review

Ricky gervais is back with his third live stand up performance fame. This dvd was filmed live in front of a sell out crowd at london's hammersmith apollo. this time ricky takes on the subject of fame and being famous and all the good and bad things that go with it. This is ricky's third stand up show and although it is very funny in places it does ...  Read the complete review

The other night, this was on the telly on channel 4 and, having watched both his other two stand-up shows before (ANIMALS and POLITICS) and having found them both reasonably funny, I thought I might as well give this a go. Of his three shows this is without doubt the weakest and, 24 hours later, I am left kind of wondering why I really bothered ...  Read the complete review

I am not really a fan of The Office, and I did not like Extras but I did really like the first two Ricky Gervais solo comedy DVDs, namely Animals and Politics. This did not live up to the expectations generated by the success and quality of those first two offerings. I am broad minded and have a wide sense of humour, including some ...  Read the complete review

So, after brilliant success for The Office sitcom and the follow up plaudits for Extras, Ricky Gervais has decided to cash in between his multi award winning sitcoms with stand-up shows. He's too rich and important to have to do tiring multi-venue tours around the country to make a buck so just cherry picks the capitals grandest theatres for three ...  Read the complete review
