Ricky Gervais: Supernature
NETFLIX, TUESDAY 24 MAY
Just as he’s preparing his next live tour called “Armageddon”, here’s a chance to see the most recent stand-up show performed by Ricky Gervais last year. As the title suggests, it’s (very) loosely built round the theme of the paranormal, and Ricky does indeed take the opportunity to debunk various ideas about the supernatural and mysticism, while pointing out that actual nature is more than wonderful enough, especially when it comes to his cat. In fact, the real focus of the show is more the nature of comedy itself, whether there are subjects unfit to joke about (spoiler alert: there aren’t), and how certain ideas really are taboo. And, as ever, Gervais makes fun of himself and his ways as much as anyone or anything else.
