Ricky Gervais’ Science Tour
There’s no stopping Reading boy Ricky Gervais this year as he ends 2009 touring with his latest show Science. Originally billed as a mini tour, tickets were selling out at such a rate that he added extra dates to the remaining venues. The show has received mixed reviews, as has the fact he’s selling autographs in the merchandise store for £10 a pop, but all agree that it is a funny hour – but not quite as hilarious as we’ve come to expect from the talented Gervais.
