Ricky Gervais: Out of England

About This Movie

Ricky Gervais: Out of England is a solid example of Gervais' unique blend of self-deprecating humor and sharp observational comedy. He really knows how to command a stage, and the WaMu Theater crowd in NYC clearly ate it up. The pacing is pretty tight; he moves from one topic to another seamlessly, often threading in personal anecdotes that feel both relatable and absurd. His delivery is understated, which contrasts nicely with the energy of the audience. It's not just about punchlines—there’s a certain warmth and openness to his style that makes you feel like you’re sharing a drink with a friend rather than just watching a performance. Definitely worth a look if you appreciate stand-up that leans into the quirky and the mundane.

Released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2008. · Filmed at WaMu Theater, Madison Square Garden. · Directed by John Moffitt, known for stand-up specials. · Runtime is about 70 minutes, with no major edits.
