The Ricky Gervais Show

The Ricky Gervais Show

For years, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington entertained listeners with their nonsense on XFM. In 2005, they launched a podcast with The Guardian, delivering five series of absurdity over three years and over 300 million downloads by 2011. Join the famously ridiculous trio every Thursday as they discuss everything from horses in houses, paper rounds, and fat babies to Karl’s diary, poetry, Aunty Nora, man moths, hairy Chinese kids, and of course, monkey news.
