hearing there is a light as an intro to gervais I totally expect him to be playing the little recorder and electric bongos karl got for his birthday! great days!
Hopefully he talks over his guests, rants about how he was famous before his stand up and the structure of comedy, that's what I loved about the other 9
I remember listening to XFM with The Smiths being Introduced to me by you guys. Years later and I hear that very tune again at the start. To good health Ricky
Gregor Carlin Yeah it's painful. I love xfm and the podcasts but I rarely can get to the end of any of these, as I get so pissed off with him taking over, when his guests are mid point
Really enjoyed the series so far. This one has made me laugh out more than the others.. love it. Keep em coming Ricky. Enjoy you having specialists on outside of comedy..but your getting some cracking stories out of the comedians, which shall be retold around the pubs of the UK..Brilliant
The Ricky Drinking Game Drink : every time ricky said he was bit famous when the office broke Drink : when he said I'm living vicariously through stand-up comedians on the circuit. Drink : every time he talks about stand up comedy not being anodyne and safe Drink : every time ricky said "people say comedy is your conscience having a day off my conscience never has a day off"
Drink a full crate of vodka every time he fails to acknowledge the existence of his previous (and funnier) partners Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant.
Chris Barnes Comedian Drink every time he turns the conversation back to him! I'm a long-time fan of Ricky's, but some of these conversations are cringy in their repetitiveness.
Moses Juice It wouldnt be the same but it doesnt have to be the same. I think most close followers will get that and thats who it for. I would love it just to be a normal catch up.
Mike Oxlong fuck me, i know right?! I've watched so many interviews of him promoting Life on the Road and he litetally said that in every single interview. Think he knows?

You're in the wrong place. This is RICKY GERVAIS DEADLY SIRIUS, not xfm, not Derek, not The Ricky Gervais show & certainly not an idiot abroad. Stop moaning in the wrong place
I used to see Joel dommet almost every week at top secret comedy club in London, I saw him about 6 years ago at his very early stages... Didn’t like him at first, The more I saw him the more I loved his material! (I always went to new materials night) Brilliant set!
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T GET IT... this is basically Ricky doing what Seinfeld did in the USA with his comedians and coffee show. But Ricky's doing it with UK artists. its an analogy of comedy and stand up.
....and we’re back to boringly dissecting comedy with dull hacks for the 10th time. Those two minutes of interesting material Simon Amstell managed to extract are gone with the wind.
Skann Sorry I triggered you lil bro. Maybe you should try to get Steven Merchant on with Uncle Rick. That way something funny might actually get produced.
Wow funny how people forget ain't it James Acaster who just slagged Ricky's new special Supernature right off! Jealousy is not a good look James, u should have a relisten to this!
god you people are stupid. when ricky makes a joke about someone it's funny, when someone makes a joke about ricky it's "jealousy" 🤣🤣🤣 grow up jodie they're both funny
For me good stand up is a comedy performance, like Stewart Lee or bill hicks, it's not the same as making your mates laugh in the pub. I'd probably just go to the pub with my mates if it was.
I paid £29 for mine in the summer. Purchased within seconds of them going on sale. The most reasonable price I've paid for an arena tour; music or comedy included.
These shows have been hilarious, David Baddiel's story about his daughter was complete genius - yet we're at Episode 10 and still people who don't like it are listening and whining to get Steve and Karl back, stop listening it's not for you, do something else.. you massive dullards.
It's getting really dull listening to the exact same anecdotes, the exact same statements and the exact same topic every time. I loved the Simon episode for being different, it had an interesting direction. I feel like Ricky should get people in to focus on certain topics, so like with Dawkins and Cox the topic was science. Get a historian in and talk about history, get a political comedian and talk about politics. I loved when Doc Brown was talking about rap and a different side of conversation. Because seriously the exact same points are being made, with no variety, almost delivered the same. Also Ricky uses the phrase 'of course' a lot and it makes me feel like an idiot if I didn't quite grasp the line of argument. These episodes tend to feel like Ricky's having a chat with 2 people who haven't seen the episodes so he wants to catch them up with the same info we all know by this point, and then make a show FOR comedians. I remember watching Ricky, Rock, Louis and Jerry go on about stand up and it was funny but it was an hour and limited to just a one off with 4 interesting opinions, if that became a weakly show I'd go insane!
Talking about comedy, comedy a bit of comedy some comedians and then a bit more comedy. Fuck me did he forgot the other subjects. It’s EGOMANIA 2018 Me me me
To pick up on something you said about not being able to do comedy after an accident, in Romania there is a guy who is part of a comedy show who killed 3 people with his car, did no time, and he's currently back on business on TV. Romanians are very forgetful people...
I’m a big fan of Ricky’s work, but these are becoming more and more difficult to listen to. It’s like Ricky and his comedy pals patting each other on the back about how funny they are. Better if they actually made a podcast that contained a bit of comedy, rather than just talk about how good they are.
Every one is stuck in the past. stop going on about karl, these podcast arn't necessarily supposed to be comedy it's more of a medium for ricky gervais to voice his thoughts. if you're not interested in ricky gervais' thoughts and opinions then your in the wrong place. At this current time the main thing going on in ricky's life is being a comedian therefore he's going to be discussing comedy as a profession. This isn't a platform for ricky to be a comedian or to expose karls naiveness it's exactly what it says on the tin, a radio show
James is always a great addition to anything. Alex Edelman,? never heard of him, don't particularly like him and that's mostly due to the way he says "like" every 5 seconds, it was beyond annoying by the end of this episode.
Trust me, after 10k of drinks have been bought at the bar, taking off staff wages and stock replenishment, the venue barely makes £500, which is taxable at 40%. No money in the drinks game anymore I’m afraid. Ticket sales and arts-funding are what keep Britain’s theatres going. Sad but true.
Is this exclusive to theatres? I used to work in nightclubs and strip clubs (behind the bar) and we used to make loads. My friend was the manager and owner of one of them and he would tell me how much the club had made that night and how much they paid for bottles and barrels etc and it was A LOT!
Noone cares about the world of stand up, we go for a show, It's a bit of entertainment for a couple hours. This podcast is the equivalent of 2 deep sea divers discussing how they move during dives, completely unappealing to anyone not involved in the job.
Speak for yourself. I find it rather interesting. As someone who has watched a fair amount of comedy, I find it interesting to hear about how it is created. And the stories about bad gigs are funny. But really, 10 episodes in and you're still listening to something you don't enjoy? Why?
No, Ricky knows he didn't have the normal route into stand up comedy. He's acknowledged that multiple times in this series. And the reason he is talking to other comedians is because he's interested to hear from them what it was like for them. That's why he asks them to talk about their bad early gigs, because he didn't have those. He's fully aware he's not a typical stand-up that worked their way up through the small clubs. He knows he's been lucky with what's happened to him.
Don't explain to me what they speak about, I obviously have heard it, I completely grasp every topic they cover, I'm providing feedback on it. Secondly you may be a small percentage but the majority of us are unhappy with the direction the podcast has taken, the entire point is to provide feedback as an audience, and alot of people agree. The comments clearly show other people aren't excited for the way it is going too. Someone with an interest into the subject such as yourself may be enjoy it, however this podcast was never titled as such, it wasn't supposed to be what it has become, which warrants complains.
I just want to see people asking for Karl in the comments, that's the only reason I look on this channel.... I'm such a sad little petty man.... I just really, really hope this channel fails miserably (meaning the sirius radio thing).... because Karl and Steve aren't on it..... I know how ridiculous and childish that is but I genuinely hope this fails, like to the point where sirius prematurely end the show.... Probably in some silly hope that Karl and Steve will come on the show...... Come on everybody join me - in hoping -- really really hoping that this radio show fails so miserably that its failure actually becomes unprecedented.
Acaster is amazing. He is a big name in stand up and is only going to get bigger. Listen to his scrapes compilation on Josh Widdecombe's xfm show on UA-cam, you'll end up liking him.
Such a pity Sirius XM is supporting the likes of Steve Bannon (Seth Rogen refused to appear there) and such a pity the great Ricky Gervais would rather block people who speak out against it than give a reason why he is not leaving the show in protest. Could it be money? Entire career making fun of people and now he's playing the liberal and helping Bannon. When will we find out he doesn't like animals. "Oh I can't have a dog cause I'm always away" yeah right...
I thought that was hilarious. I love James Acaster so much. He's become one of my favourite comedians so it was fantastic to hear him on here.
hearing there is a light as an intro to gervais I totally expect him to be playing the little recorder and electric bongos karl got for his birthday! great days!
Hopefully he talks over his guests, rants about how he was famous before his stand up and the structure of comedy, that's what I loved about the other 9
you stole that from someone else.....and anyway why bother listening then?
cant even think of you own comment...
I remember listening to XFM with The Smiths being Introduced to me by you guys. Years later and I hear that very tune again at the start. To good health Ricky
His music playlist looks like his wardrobe.
James Acaster was brilliant- so funny! I actually really enjoyed this podcast
Thank you Ricky. I am enjoying these immensely!!! Greetings from Argentina
Love this show! Love James - one of my absolute fave comedians!!
Now the bid lin, the lid bin, the bin lid
where did the flys come from then?
A man moth??
HAHAHHAAH classic Karls brain.
HAAHHAH fucking hilarious
Willynilliley
James is fuckin' epic!
Ricky being very self-indulgent in this conversation - interrupting the other two lads to talk about him-self every 2 minutes
Gregor Carlin He's always been like that. He was like that in the XFM shows
I disagree, XFM was primarily Karl telling stories and anecdotes
Gregor Carlin Yeah it's painful. I love xfm and the podcasts but I rarely can get to the end of any of these, as I get so pissed off with him taking over, when his guests are mid point
He should interview Jane
DDTPhoenix 12 she’s always busy with her friends.
Still my favourite listen. Especially of a boring day winding down after Christmas.
Really enjoyed the series so far. This one has made me laugh out more than the others.. love it. Keep em coming Ricky. Enjoy you having specialists on outside of comedy..but your getting some cracking stories out of the comedians, which shall be retold around the pubs of the UK..Brilliant
Eyes bulging with imagined riches
he he he who who who ha ha ha
Yep... about 27 minutes in. "I had already done The Office....".
your point being? james mentions the office way before.
"I had an idea for a sitcom," that was actually Steve's idea.
The Ricky Drinking Game
Drink : every time ricky said he was bit famous when the office broke
Drink : when he said I'm living vicariously through stand-up comedians on the circuit.
Drink : every time he talks about stand up comedy not being anodyne and safe
Drink : every time ricky said "people say comedy is your conscience having a day off my conscience never has a day off"
What am I, Russian?
No. the human liver isn't capable of taking that much.
Drink a full crate of vodka every time he fails to acknowledge the existence of his previous (and funnier) partners Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant.
Chris Barnes Comedian Drink every time he turns the conversation back to him! I'm a long-time fan of Ricky's, but some of these conversations are cringy in their repetitiveness.
Drink every time he says "some people live their lives like an open wound to be famous"
The two funniest lines came at the end. 'The only thing we should be plugging is our arseholes' haha.
This was actually a really good episode.
Up up up! Biga baga dooo! Up up up!
I do love how these comments are quotes from Xfm shows from nearly 20 years ago 😂
Ben Williams been there done that
It's annoying, same people doing it on every fucking video!
"Like she was smuggling seaweed!"
These are getting better XD
Enjoying these ....but no one mention the Elephant in the room
So I imagine Acasters bit of stand up slagging Gervais off was written after this?
boswollocks
Crambrelly
How is Jonathan Ross.....alright?
We want the bold mank!
We all do but lets be honest it wouldn't be the same. Fell asleep last night listening to Ricky and Steve shove hamburgers in Karls mouth.
And the bald one too presumably?
Moses Juice gemme shinny head
Moses Juice It wouldnt be the same but it doesnt have to be the same. I think most close followers will get that and thats who it for. I would love it just to be a normal catch up.
Manc*
Pretty sure Gervais is losing his memory
Ribo should definitely go on tour and call his show "90% Bell-end".
hedgehog1965uk and his sidekick 10% tennants super
Up to me shoulder in..........Glunge
Hahah i love that hes just nicked the whole playlist from Xfm!
fuck i love that story about the camp fire gig
Ricky "live your life like an open wound" Gervais
Mike Oxlong fuck me, i know right?! I've watched so many interviews of him promoting Life on the Road and he litetally said that in every single interview. Think he knows?
What do you guys mean?
Twaddle! Where's Karl!?
'That was in the days when comedians wanking in front of people isn't is as big as it is now ' ooooooo shiiiittt xD
I'm a big fan of Gervais but almost every episode is the same thing over and over and guests who are vaguely familiar.
Gervais whole career is the same things over and over

Yo James is such a funny comedian he is so jokes 😂😂😂😂
Why isn't this on iTunes Rick?
James Acaster
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T GET IT... this is basically Ricky doing what Seinfeld did in the USA with his comedians and coffee show. But Ricky's doing it with UK artists. its an analogy of comedy and stand up.
why does he never mention stephen merchant anymore
but the radio authority will be happy with me stuffing burgers in my mouth!
He just had to get an American in the studio too.
I can't understand all the criticism. There were some funny moments, here.
Ricky, The funniest men shitting themselves story was actually on your XFM show, series1 ep8, about 24 minutes in. Enjoy.
I love Ricky, but I'm getting bored of hearing him go on about his tour and the craft of stand up. Get Steve and Karl back for some real laughs.
Wow, that was hilarious, omg, what a story... brilliantly told.
Stay away from fucking lorries.
Please do an episode
with Karl and Steve
dont forget to LIKE , like ...James Acaster.. ace, other dude.., just like
I think like Alex is not gonna be like invited back to this show like anytime soon.
These comments are cancer. I love this podcast!
Me too! Why are people still listening if they are not enjoying it?!
I agree. I think they're getting better now it's a little less serious. The last two have been awesome XD
It just goes to show, different people like different things.
I've been enjoying it too, hope that's not the end of it
....and we’re back to boringly dissecting comedy with dull hacks for the 10th time. Those two minutes of interesting material Simon Amstell managed to extract are gone with the wind.
Tanta why are you listening if you don’t like it? 😂
"dull hacks" you fucking idiot
Skann Sorry I triggered you lil bro. Maybe you should try to get Steven Merchant on with Uncle Rick. That way something funny might actually get produced.
Rick never told his story at 53:48
Wow funny how people forget ain't it James Acaster who just slagged Ricky's new special Supernature right off! Jealousy is not a good look James, u should have a relisten to this!
god you people are stupid. when ricky makes a joke about someone it's funny, when someone makes a joke about ricky it's "jealousy" 🤣🤣🤣 grow up jodie they're both funny
Invite the head like a fucking orange and the tall guy from Bristol for a special appearance show
Good show tho keep up the good work (nonsense)
Get Aunty Nora on.
Split tennis ball :)
For me good stand up is a comedy performance, like Stewart Lee or bill hicks, it's not the same as making your mates laugh in the pub. I'd probably just go to the pub with my mates if it was.
I really dont get the dislikes dont fucking watch it if you dislike it
I agree!
The funniest bit of this is where Ricky thinks his tickets are going for £50
Taiesha do you think they’re going for more or less
Sam Wooto ticket sites can be a bitch so I paid more for mine. Then switched venue and got cheaper ones.
Ah, I just looked at prices and they're going for way over £100 some of em, mental
That is about what I paid for it...(next year), so maybe you you buy them at wrong location?
I paid £29 for mine in the summer. Purchased within seconds of them going on sale. The most reasonable price I've paid for an arena tour; music or comedy included.

Ricky's taste in music is decent but I swear he only plays the same 30ish songs over and over and over.
Comedians master-bating in front of people haha
Love the worst gig stories! Tho its about fucking time we got a lil manc twat update!! How about a show with karl pilkinton for us xfm fans?
30,000 views is dire for a self proclaimed genius
Can't be doing with this
i am amused that this shite doesn't get 100k views. Sirius Xm will be pissed off
This is deadly shit Rick, you would have been better doing something with Steve and Karl again ,
To pick up on something you said about not being able to do comedy after an accident, in Romania there is a guy who is part of a comedy show who killed 3 people with his car, did no time, and he's currently back on business on TV. Romanians are very forgetful people...
For someone who hates annoying noises I hate when he does that noise between thinking
What noise?
I’m a big fan of Ricky’s work, but these are becoming more and more difficult to listen to. It’s like Ricky and his comedy pals patting each other on the back about how funny they are. Better if they actually made a podcast that contained a bit of comedy, rather than just talk about how good they are.
Fucking hell Ricky likes to talk, especially about the same shit
What are Karl and Steve up to these days?? Would love to hear one more podcast for old times sake

Is that cover photo Ricky receiving a prostate exam? or is it the cough test? Answers on a postcard.

Ricky Gervais with who????????
Acaster is amazing. He is a big name in stand up and is only going to get bigger. Listen to his scrapes compilation on Josh Widdecombe's xfm show on UA-cam, you'll end up liking him.
The conversation about Joel Dommett was interesting. Just a shame that he's a terrible, terrible comedian
Ricky is massive egomaniac and narcissist. Still like him though!
who the chuff
I'm glad James no longer associates with this awful dude
they sound like cowards...
Gervais and a big bag of coke. I wonder if he'd talk about himself?...
90% bellend
Joel wan't funny b4 or after!
Ricky and who?
Bring back Karl!!!!
Such a pity Sirius XM is supporting the likes of Steve Bannon (Seth Rogen refused to appear there) and such a pity the great Ricky Gervais would rather block people who speak out against it than give a reason why he is not leaving the show in protest.
