It has been confirmed that “The Office” and “Extras” star Ricky Gervais will star in Grand Theft Auto: IV as part of Liberty City’s stand-up comedy club. In an interview with Shortlist magazine, the comedian said:
“It’s a first - which always interests me. It was shot in New York, my favourite place in the world, and I got to wear a tight lycra suit as part of the digital process. No, hold on, that wasn’t so good. Unfortunately they captured the whole horror, except I look slightly tougher. It’s seriously a big deal, though. Games have outsold Hollywood for the past few years so it’s nice to be a small part of that.”
Gervais also mentionned that players will not just find him in the Comedy Club, but elsewhere in Liberty City too! Being a huge fan of Ricky Gervais myself, I can’t wait to see his appearence in what is almost guaranteed to be the game of the year!

That’ll be why you ripped him off for the “mermaid or fishhead” question in the article below then. For shame!

I didn’t claim it as my own question, I merely stated that I got asked it. The article also isn’t stealing any of Ricky’s work/jokes. It was simply just a narrative guide/path into what I was really talking about.

It’s all old, recycled hat anyway. The top half-fish, bottom half-woman was Cat’s fantasy in Red Dwarf Series II, ‘Better Than Life’, and that was 20 years ago!
Everything’s a rip off of everything else!
But it’s very good old, recycled hat nonetheless.
And as for Ricky Gervais, he’s the one ‘celebrity’ I would like to have as a drinking buddy. He seems great.
I’d arm wrestle him to the floor!
