"Phil McIntyre Entertainment Proudly Presents

RICKY GERVAIS LIVE ON TOUR

BRAND NEW SHOW - FAME

Mon. & Tues. 12th & 13th Feb. 2007 Doors: 7.00pm Show: 7.30pm

RICKY GERVAIS

£25.00 (Fully seated)

Over 18s only

On sale: 10.00am Tues. 12th Dec. 2006

Ricky Gervais, Hollywood's "Hottest Brit" and co-creator and co-writer of the two multi award-winning shows The Office and Extras, is going on a national UK tour, with his third live show Fame.

Despite its glamorous title, compared to his two previous tours it is probably the purest stand-up of all three. More anecdotal and autobiographical than before, it allows Gervais to meander and deconstruct everyday life. Everyday life, that is, for someone who is famous in nearly a hundred countries and hangs out with David Bowie and Ben Stiller.

Tickets are available from

10am, Tuesday 12th December

By the way, a couple of enterprising journalists snuck into a warm-up gig and wrote some nice things;

“Gervais remains an utterly engaging stage presence” The Times

“Were we having a laugh? Absolutely” The Evening Standard

Oh my word!!!! From Chortle:

"Ricky Gervias tickets sold out within hours at venues across Britain yesterday.

One venue, Oxford’s New Theatre, sold out in 45 minutes – a rate of 40 tickets a minute.

But hundreds of those buying tickets had no intention of ever going to the shows, with around 500 tickets already being sold on eBay at inflated prices. The £25 seats were going for up to £100 each on the internet auction site.

Gervais even managed to outsell Peter Kay in his North-West heartland, with the Blackpool Winter Gardens reporting that the Office star shifted his 3,000 tickets faster than Kay’s Mum Wants A Bungalow tour.

Kevin Allcock, managing director of venue owner Leisure Parcs, said: ‘Ricky Gervais represents the fastest Winter Gardens sell-out on record.’

Fans queued outside the venue from the early hours to get their hands on a ticket, which went on sale at 10am

In Sheffield, too, fans were waiting in the cold for the City Halls box office to open. Dan Whittaker, 24, told the Sheffield Star: ‘I'll queue as long as it takes. I've been to see a lot of comedians but I really want to see Ricky Gervais.’

And Richard Fitzsimmons, 23, said: ‘I've taken the day off work to get them, rather than battle with the website. This is the first stand-up show I've ever been to.’

In Portsmouth, the Fame show sold out in four-and-a-half hours, matching the record set by Little Britain earlier this year.

Guildhall manager Danny Green said: 'It's quite impressive. I was surprised to see people queuing. You'd think most would buy their tickets via the internet or over the phone these days.'

Oxford New Theatre spokesman Joel Barnett said : ‘I did expect it to sell out fast, but certainly not this quickly.’

Gervais’s tour, Fame, starts in Glasgow on January 8 and takes in 11 cities, although more dates are expected to be added later. .Click here for dates."
