1.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointing, 3 Jan 2008
By J. R. Ingram (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought all of his past work has been excellent, this DVD is not. Lacking the depth and real observations of his last two stand up DVDs, this one relies on having a go at people who are different, or vunerable which any idiot could do. More discerning viewers could give this one a miss. I found it offensive, and bland which is not a winning combination.

I think good comedians can make us laugh and make us think about the world, and change perceptions of difficult issues for the better. This one is pandering to the mob mentalitiy and every lowest common denominator.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick to TV!, 31 Oct 2008
By Mrs. Sharon L. Lawson "Sadakohere" (London, England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oh Ricky. Excellent in 'The Office', not too bad in 'Extras'...but as a stand-up act? Not your craft.

Gervais is at his best on his podcasts with Karl Pilkington and Steve Merchant. He seems to excel when feeding off others and it's no wonder his podcast is so popular - mainly because of Pilkington mind you!

Fame made me feel embarassed watching it and had to turn off after about 25 minutes. I've no idea why he insists on continuing to mock himself, go on about Africans, mock Christianity and show ignorance when it comes to disease. The ME section was very poor taste and offensive.

Ricky tries to be clever in stand-up but ends up looking a bit of a fool. Shame really.

For die-hard fans only.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cringe inducing - not in a good way, 29 Sep 2008
By Martin Gardner - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This show really shows up Ricky Gervais' woeful lack of experience as a stand-up comedian. The lack of structure, the self-indulgent 'corpsing', and the weakness of the material, all indicate a lazy approach which would have a fledgling comic shouted off the stage at any open-mike night at the local boozer. However, this is Ricky Gervais - so well known that he can say anything in a tone of squeaky outrage and it will raise a laugh.

Did he ever actually mention fame? I don't remember. Just a lot of laboured lines about teenage cancer sufferers and old jokes (well, they sounded old) about fat people, gays and foreigners.
