Is it a bird,is it a plane .....................

Rab The Ranter from Scotland ya tube ye, 28th September, 2006

Slicker than a tanker with a split hull, faster than a premature ejaculation, subtler than an ulterior motive, able to leap over a pile of duff scripts in a single bound - it's Ricky Gerease, the saviour of the moral soul of the comedic art. Joking aside, it's nearly funny - twice.

This is brilliant! Very funny, go and buy it, watch it over and over! You will never listen to 'Humpty Dumpty' in the same way again! Gervais is side spittingly funny in this DVD. He pretty much plays the David Brent character, which of course we all love.

The only 'problem' with this title was, it just wasn't long enough! Then again I think if it were 6 hours it still wouldn't be long enough! Very good, we will be buying it, definitely!

MY MOTHER WOULDN'T LIKE IT... FUNNY

AdrianWalsh from , 19th April, 2005

A good laugh, mainly at the expense of others. Don't watch this if you are easily offended or are anything like my mother. I thought it was very 'amusing' it wasn't laugh out loud all the time, though it did have it's moments, well worth watching the extras. I am a big Gervais fan but I must say I don't think this was as good as Animal. Do I recommend this - Hell Yeah.

Absolutely fantastic!

S from W Yorkshire, 14th August, 2006

Don't be fooled by the title, although at times political it is not a constant theme of the show! Ricky Gervais at his best, his outrageous, sometimes close to the bone comments may make you cringe with laughter but if you are not easily offended then you'll love it. He is by no means PC, which makes his brand of humour all the more funny. The additional extras on the DVD are also funny and Ince is a funny and patient guy! Generally I'm a fan of American Stand up like Rock, DL, Bernie Mac - who although remain topical are not afraid of being Un PC! I loved it and am prepared to give UK Stand Up's a chance!

[=] Ricky Gervais, Politics

TheInformer from , 5th November, 2009

One thing I always say about comedy stand up is once you have seen it once, wait a long time before you watch it again as otherwise it just isn't as funny... I ruined this rental for myself to be honest as i watched a lot of clips on Tube, This is a great stand up gig - But for best viewing, make sure you haven't seen it before. Overall i'd say Gervais is as always, masterful comic in this gig.

i need'nt say too much about this stand up as most people will know it's going to be ace as soon as ricky gervais' name is put to it! as the other reviews have said he basically introduces you to his alternate views and takes on the pc gone mad society we live in. which i must say i am grateful for if it gives gervais ammunition for another stand up ha ha! i must draw your attention to the interview with karl pilkington in the bonus extras section. it is simply the funniest interview you will hear from a man who is arguably a comedy master mind himself (pilkington i mean). any fan of the ricky gervais show podcasts will know how funny karl is. and indeed merchant but he doesn't feature here so no need to big him up too much lol have fun boys and girls! x
