Ricky Gervais performs live in his stand-up show FAME, which became Britain's fastest-selling live tour at the time. Gervais discusses his fame and the resulting complications that occur.

A year after Animals, Ricky Gervais comes back with his second stand up comedy tour: Politics.

Filmed during a limited run at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London, the show is based around Ricky’s fascination with the animal kingdom (including that curious species, the human being) and covers subjects as diverse as classifying bats, gay animals and the Great War poets. From the moment the curtain goes up, it becomes clear that David Attenborough has nothing to worry about as Gervais accompanies a short film on animal copulation with a unique and not entirely scientific narration! Fans will wonder if any subject is taboo as the comedy drifts from his interpretation of the Bible (including what really went on in the Garden of Eden) to parts of the animal kingdom that the BBC never dared to cover.
