Ricky Gervais at Diana Memorial Concert
Ricky Gervais is a funny guy. I’m a big of the Office and of Extras.
But watching his routine at the Diana concert yesterday, you had to come to one conclusion. Ricky Gervais was rubbish. You’d think someone who is billed as the world’s funniest man, and knows he has a live audience of over 60,000 and a TV audience of over 140 million could work out a 10 minute routine with some actual jokes or something… Can you imagine Bob Monkhouse - if he were still here in any capacity beyond computer generated adverts - moaning about having to fill 3 minutes!
Maybe he sense the ridiculousness of the whole occasion and decided not to put any effort in? But the funniest thing about Gervais was his intro from Ben Stiller. It was all downhill from there…
