Ricky Gervais has risen to the top of the comedy world for his innovative performances in his own productions of the Office, Extras and recently, The Ricky Gervais Show.
Ricky studied Philosophy at University College London, where he graduated in 1979 with a 2:2. After finishing his studies he formed a band, Seona Dancing. They produced 2 singles, both of which failed to get into the top 40, although, bizarrely one of their songs become a big hit in the Philippines, one year after the groups demise.
After the demise of the band Ricky worked at various odd jobs related to the media and music. In the 1990s he started to make a break through in TV, gaining slots on Channel 4 TV in programmes such as, The 11 ‘O clock show. He even had his own chat show “Meet Ricky Gervais”; however, this was not a success, and even Ricky has later mocked his performance in it.
The big break for Ricky Gervais came in 2001 when his own show the Office was piloted on BBC. The comedy was scripted with long time friend Stephen Marchant. The series proved a big hit, gaining a cult following. There is an American version of the Office, although it was moderated for the tastes of American audiences. After the second series, Ricky Gervais decided to bring the series to an end. However, he did start working on a new programme Extras. In Extras, Ricky Gervais plays an aspiring actor, who struggles to get more than a silent extra part.
Following his sucess in TV, Ricky has embarked on his own live stand-up tours. His first tour was called Animals, based around his fascination with the animal kingdom. His follow-up stand-up act was called Politics. He was recently voted "The greatest living Briton" for the TV section by an ITV show.
