Ricky Gervais appears in Grand Theft Auto IV
The world's most sought after comedian will be performing in Liberty City's comedy club...
Ricky Gervais has revealed that he will play a cameo role in GTA IV. The Office and Extras star will perform in Liberty City's comedy club where he will provide some fresh stand-up material, as well as re-hashed gags from his sell-out Fame tour.
These reports come from Shortlist magazine (via CVG), where Gervais said in an interview that he will perform three minute skits at Liberty City's comedy club (one of the many venues you'll be able to frequent for entertainment in your GTA IV leisure time).
"It's a first - which always interests me," Gervais said of the opportunity. "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."
Ricky also revealed that he will be appearing somewhere else in GTA IV as well as the comedy club. Maybe he's one of the extras.
