Yeah he was when he was younger
Not sure I could use the word ‘comedian’ to describe that Ricky Gervais, because commedians are funny. Gervais is just strange, and in an uncomfortable way. I guess that is somehow supposed to be entertaining. Kind of like mimes.
I guess it all depends on what YOU like.
I loved Ricky Gervais’ show “Derek”. It could be hilarious and poignant at the same time.
Steven Wright. Robert Klein. Jerry Seinfeld. I know, I know, I’m old school.

I’m a huge (stand up) comedy “buff”. I don’t know what you’re into, comedy wise, but I have almost everything in that list. There is: Topical Comedy, Aggressive/Angry/Rage Comedy, Political Comedy, Dark Comedy, One Linear Comedy, Personal Story Comedy, “Black” (perspective) Comedy, etc.
I like Kevin Smith, Ricky Gervais, Seth Rogan, and a few others.

I like him. But, you have to admit, his comedy gets a little weird sometimes. Lol.
See? I knew I missed a few on my list. Lol.
Edit:
I liked his older stuff, but not so much now. Aziz Ansari had a similar effect with me. With each stand up special, I liked him less and less.
In that case please check out Daniel Sloss, you’ll never see a weirder comedy show
Just wait, there is more.
He has 2 specials on Netlfix
But does anyone like Carrottop?
Seriously though;
Daniel Sloss - Dark
I laughed so hard the neighbors could hear me next door.
Got about 30 more title’s that’ll make you laugh so hard ambulances will show up to see if you’re okay.
I’ll save those for another day.
Speaking of him, I really loved the Mulaney show he did on Fox. Between him, Elliott Gould, Martin Short, and Nasim Pedrad; I thought it was a wonderful show. I wish it would have gotten more than one season.
