Advantages: Some fo the best stand-up comedy out there Disadvantages: Ribs hurt and hours are wasted
...Whether you did or didn't Ricky Gervais's stand-up comedy is a totally different kettle of fish.
Gervais has released this combination of his two stand-up shows 'Animals' and 'Politics'. Inside this box set contains a couple of hours of comedy gold. The way Ricky Gervais grabs an audience is what immediately makes him a funny person.

Animals, 10/10
Politics, not reviwed much in this but still 10/10, you can watch some clips online, you all know where ;). If you like Ricky Gervais, go on you know you want too ...
