A comedian actor does not a comedian make (which some comedian actors forget...)
Basically the comedian actors who speak other people's lines will fail miserably. It takes the likes of Ricky Gervais to make a go of either lines of work, mainly because he writes his own scripts for both...
There's the tip for next time you're tempted to see anyone live...
Ricky Gervais live was probably the single most unfunny 40 minutes of my life... and at £1 a minute the worst value also....
He's had a long and chequered life, is a renowned comedy actor, can't fail...
What a pile of tulipe...
He's was as funny as a bad case of piles!
Had a load of his mates with him, all 1970's working mens club types of comedians who "sing" a number or two also...
And as for the main support, a sort of low rent Barron Nights who obviously loved themselves far more than the rapidly diminishing audience did.
Don't get me wrong, we did have a good laugh, but for all the "wrong" reasons...
If you've got tickets for the remainder of the tour, put them up on ebay now. If that doesn't work, just chuck them in the bin.

He worked as a building site plasterer for many years, becoming involved in trade union politics and activism. In 1972, he joined the flying pickets in a building workers dispute in Shrewsbury. He was sentenced to six years in prison, of which he served two, after being found guilty of 'conspiracy to intimidate' as one of the so-called Shrewsbury Two, and in 1975 disrupted the TUC conference by shouting from the wings after he had been prevented from speaking from the stage. It was revealed in 2002 that MI5 had monitored him during the 1970s.
In his 2003 autobiography, he revealed that between 1968 and 1972, prior to his involvement with trade union politics, he was a member of the National Front,[1] which he now bitterly regrets and puts down to being "politically naive and poorly educated".
