His range is complete, I cried. There were tears of sadness and breathtaking gales of laughter, including tears. Twil had to stop the program on multiple occasions and wait for me to compose myself, rewinding to the point where I'd lost it so I could hear the next bit....

Bring tissues. Drink carefully, it might get spat out or choked on. Most of all, enjoy.
you know season 2 just got released, right?

I want to hate him so badly (as I've mentioned elsewhere), but with material like this you can't. Today I saw my friend for the first time since lockdown and we actually spent some of the time discussing how good he is. She is married to the guy who did the artwork Gervais mocked in one of his stand-ups despite being refused permission to use it, but we still allotted him time
