I didn't see a thread for him. Are any of you fans of him? I like him. I just saw this today:

Ricky Gervais makes history as he earns record-breaking sum for stand-up gig

Comedian Ricky Gervais has earned a record-breaking amount of money at the box office for a single stand-up gig after taking to the stage in Los Angeles

Staggering amount. Not bad for a night's work eh. Has anyone here met him? What he posts about Jane makes me laugh at times.

True enough - the character he created and starred in (After Life) was a big drinker.

His live social media things he does where he rambles on and takes questions from his house with all his awards behind him...he's always swigging something and sounds a bit half cut a lot of the time.
His skin/body shape has an alcoholic look about it IYKWIM

Still listen to the XFM shows all the time with Steve and Karl, all on YouTube. Rockbusters and stuff. Some of the funniest things I've ever heard. Not been a massive fan of his last couple of shows in all honesty, but comedy right now is in a dire place and he's one of the few remaining lights.

Big big fan, love the Office, love Afterlife, love him hosting the awards and not giving a tit and roasting everyone. Seen him live many time and never laughed so much. Great storyteller and seems his family were all piss takers of each other too and don't take themselves seriously. If you want to hear him talk passionately about animals and just have a good belly laugh with him telling stories listen to him in Walking the dog with Emily Dean, it's brilliant.

Yeah I love Ricky Gervais, he is great and any series he's done has always be written so well. I don't think the series Derek gets enough credit, it was fantastic! Highly recommend watching the bloopers as well, really really funny. I think he takes a drink most nights but doesn't seem to be pure alcoholism... He did mention in a show once he cut back and did lose a good amount of weight, so I think he knows when to draw the line on it.

I really like Ricky, still listen to the xfm shows on YouTube. It’s a shame he and Steve don’t seem to work together anymore.

A "stand up act" who never did stand up before doing his big shows. He's a chancer in that respect.

He does like to think as himself as SO edgy. James Acaster (who is a great stand up) did a great job in calling him out on that.

Just recently had a Ricky G binge, mostly his shows with Steve and Karl. Laughed ourselves silly, very extra-funny!

Why did he fall out with Merchant?

Not sure they fell out. I think they just went different ways. Ricky was making other shows and Stephen was also doing other stuff. I think Stephen went out to LA for a while to produce and star in stuff. Not quite sure.
