Ricky Gervais - The Story So Far | Audio Book
If you're into Ricky Gervais, you'll love this comedy audio book.
He's the entertainment genius currently hailed as “Hollywood’s Hottest Brit” due to his massive success.
So why do the Yanks like him so much?
* The Office and Extras are hits on both sides of the Atlantic
* He's the first person from the UK to write an episode of The Simpsons
* He's not afraid to poke fun at Hollywood
* He campaigns for animal welfare
His style is typically philosophical, a little like the American stand-up comedian Steve Wright. But he's less wacky, and more ordinary, which makes him much more accessible to the general public.
He'll say: “I hate lateness. I hate people who are late. There is no excuse for turning up late for anything. I've never been late for anything in my life. I was actually born a week premature, because I wanted to be early for my own birth. Being late is an insult to me.”
In this mi-vox audio book, the bestselling author Michael Heatley tells Ricky's story from his childhood at Reading in Berkshire UK, to international stardom, picking up an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA along the way.
Besides writing and directing The Office and Extras, Ricky also plays the lead roles of David Brent in The Office and Andy Millman in Extras.
He's an active supporter of animal rights, and frequently mocks people involved in fox-hunting and bull fighting.
This audio book is essential listening for all comedy fans, and is a highlight of the mi-vox comedy collection.
