Stick to Football - Season 1 Episode 59 Ricky Gervais: Comedy, Football and Brotherly Bonds With Roy Keane

In today’s episode, we’re joined by the one and only Ricky Gervais, who takes centre stage with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, and Jill Scott for a hilarious and insightful chat about comedy, football, and everything in between. We kick off with Ricky’s thoughts on veganism and whether he prefers stand-up or TV series before diving into deeper topics like cancel culture, the creation of The Office UK, and his unforgettable collaboration with David Bowie on Extras. Ricky shares hilarious stories about his early days in a band, his time on the radio, and meeting Karl Pilkington, as well as drawing unexpected parallels with Roy Keane. He also opens up about the heartfelt inspiration behind Afterlife and tackles tough topics like social media toxicity. And of course, there are plenty of laughs as Ricky pokes fun at Gary’s ad read bloopers and discusses his whiskey ventures.
