how is Ricky Gervais received over in the states?
(in terms of stand up)
I think his act is bad, but he is pretty well liked over here.
Throw a USA hatin' English liberal into Hollywood and he will thrive.
My personal taste is more George Carlin, Denis Leary, Louis C.K., Ron White, Bill Burr is GREAT, Dave Chappelle's stuff is legendary, Mitch H and Hannibal Buress. Also, Eric Andre although his shit is just for outrageous lulz. Norm McDonald has some great stuff too. Not to forget Robin Williams, Murphy, etc.
Guess it's what you're into. I can't stand the Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Aziz Ans-whatevers, Mencia, Larry the Cable Guy type shit. It's just sad.
