Comedians of GTA IV
Sarin \| 6:46 AM on 04.17.2008	17 comments

So there have been rumours (or confirmations depending on who you trust) that Ricky Gervais is in GTA IV doing stand-up in one of the comedy clubs around Liberty City. Since there have also been reports of multiple celebrities in GTA IV playing themselves and a hint in one review/preview (can't remeber which) to be sure to catch the comedy club routines. I'm putting 2 and 2 together here and saying that there will be more comedians doing new material in GTA IV (maybe bands too?)

Personally I think this is a great idea, though I would prefer that they were on radio, so I could listen while driving, seeing as just sitting in a club listening to comedy might be a bit boring (unless they worked in drunken pool).

GTA IV is looking better every 3.25 hours so at this rate my head will explode on April 24th (give or take a day)

So, are there any celebs/comedians that you wanna see do some new material in GTA?

I'm putting my name down for Dylan Moran

Shortlist Magazine gave us that Ricky Gervais info. It is real.

Holy crap... I had no idea this was included. I'm a huge fan of stand-up and I have a couple of friends down here in Houston that do it as a hobby. I'll be sure to check these out.

Yeah I just found out about this, can't wait to see if any other comedians will appear

Ricky Gervais is in GTA4, now I know who I will kill first.

That would be cool if Demetri Martin is in, or Jim Gaffigan haha. These comedy clubs sounds pretty cool. I always enjoy listening to stand-up. I'll prolly be at the comedy clubs quite a bit.

galagabug

jim norton's appeared in rockstar games in the past (i think gta: vcs) wouldn't be suprised if he shows up again.

JohnTheCrow

Wow that's really cool. I'd love to see Demetri Martin do some stand up.

Tragic Hero

DANE COOK!!! j/k

Chappel would have been great.

"Hey Oscar, you're a grouch"

"BITCH I LIVE IN A TRASH CAN!"

JohnTheCrow

Tragic Hero: Dane Cook would have been great, too. As in, great to run over him a few dozen times.

Wow. Big fan of GTA and gervais but completely didnt expect this.
R* u can take me any whcih way you wish.

If they want, they could always add it later as downloadable content based on what comedians have high demand. Then they could charge us more money. Yay.

Love to see Rich Hall, Frankie Boyle, Dylan Moran and Ross Noble would be good. Wouldn't mind seeing Jimmy Carr get run over a few times.

Demios

Dylan Moran = Win.

When he played in my town i had a few drinks with him after his show. Absolute gentleman. Kind of disturbing how serious he takes his wine though.

He didn't really have to do that much acting Black Books :P

I hope taht they put Dane Cook in, so I can shoot him, load my savegame, and shoot him again.

For hours and hours

I hope they put Russel Peters in - that would be awesome!

About Me

Hey all, real name's Tom, but I usually travel under the handle Sarin (as in the chemical). I'm a 19 yo Uni student studying science at Sydney Uni. As some of you may have figured out I live in Australia but I still try to get on the destructoid TF2 sever despite my 200+ pings.

Trivia Time
Some of my favourite games are:
Grim Fandango
Secret of Monkey Island I&II
Psychonauts
Day of the Tentacle
(Add any Tim Schaefer Game Here)
Fallout 1&2
Max Payne 1&2
TF2
Vampire: Bloodlines
Arcanum
Planescape: Torment
Hitman: Blood Money
This is already too long so I'll stop

Currently playing:
TF2
BrB;u Mod Nights
Hitman: Blood Money
Persona 3

Random:
-I get irrationally distressed when game characters have names like Sarin. Saren(Mass Effect), Sareth(Dark Messiah), Saris(Horizons), Sarun(Viralhunter's story), there are others
-GTA was damn good but has little replay value after the second play through :(
-If you play PC games come to BrB;u. It rocks!
-Having no friends is laym
