Ricky Gervais - Science Tour 2009 - Manchester Apollo - Thursday 12th November 2009
I am a massive Ricky Gervais fan. I have loved not only all his previous stand ups but also his TV shows and Podcasts. I have wanted to see him live for a number of years and was thrilled to finally get tickets this year after failing to get them for his 'Fame' tour a few years ago.
'Science' is his latest show and will also be the last one I watch. What a disappointment. He talked of 'Britains Got Talent', the 9/11 attacks, a Ken Dodd show, Noahs Ark and not much else. None of what he talked about was current and I left feeling that none of the jokes told were new at all. Around 20 minutes of the show were dedicated to retelling the 'Noah' story, where the basic gist was that it couldn't possibly be true as there are millions and millions of different species of animal and they wouldn't ft on the ark....bla bla isn't this what he talked about in his first stand up tour ''Animals''
I left feeling like he didn't want to be there and couldn't be bothered. At the end he apologises for the show having nothing to do with Science at all....which basically summed up the whole show. A waste of my time and money.
