Ricky Gervais

The Emmy, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award-winning creator of The Office and Extras, brings his brand new stand up show to Edinburgh in August. The last time he played in it was on top of an old volcano, outdoors in Edinburgh Castle surrounded by soldiers and canons. This time he won’t be quite so worried about the weather, although the backdrop won’t be quite as impressive.

Here is what people said about Ricky’s last show:

“Some kind of genius in human observation” 
Billy Connolly
 
“One of the funniest comedians I have ever seen” 
Chris Rock
 
“Gervais proves he is still king of comedy at The Castle” 
The Scotsman 

“The King of Comedy hangs on to his throne” 
Independent
