So, what EXACTLY is the point of being on the mailing list if they don’t tell you the moment they go on sale?

Ricky’s gearing up for a live tour - FAME

No dates confirmed just yet, but keep dropping by rickygervais.com for the latest info.

There’ll be several warm-up shows in London before Ricky starts touring properly - hopefully starting in Glasgow or Edinburgh which were Ricky’s favourite UK gigs last time. The London warm-ups will be a work in progress, proceeds will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.

The second free Ricky Gervais Thanksgiving edition podcast is available now from all good internets.

Looks like world plus dog is trying to download it at the mo - but persevere, it’s worth it.

Karl doesn’t like fun. Brilliant.

Grab it if you can from the Guardian podcast page.

Missed this last week - but the Guardian is doing three specials of the Ricky Gervais podcast, for free.

You can grab the Halloween special from the Guardian podcast page.

It’s still funny.

Here’s the skinny:

The Podfather

Three special free shows from three doyens of podcasting - multi-award winning Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant (The Office, Extras) plus the round-headed idiot savant, Karl Pilkington.

Part I, Halloween October 31: Ghostly drivel abounds as Steve consults a text-based oracle, Karl experiences a kidney probing, Steve visits Bristol, Karl becomes a Godfather and Ricky tells of some lighter moments at the morgue. Plus a competition to win CDs and books signed by podcasting’s top triumvirate.

Two more to follow at Thanksgiving (23 November) and Christmas (25 December).

Beats the “Are you lifting things properly?” training videos most people get.
