Ricky Gervais and Seona Dancing - his band from the 80s.

This is brilliant.

Seona Dancing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"In his final year in 1983 as a student at UCL, Ricky Gervais and his friend Bill Macrae formed a pop duo, Seona Dancing (named after a friend and fellow student Seona Myerscough).

They were signed to London Records after sending in a 16 track demo tape (12 of the tracks have never been released and are not planned to be anytime soon). In 1983, they released their single 'More to Lose,' and it reached number 70 on the UK charts. Their follow-up, 'Bitter Heart,' reached number 79 on the UK charts. The group then disbanded in 1984.

...Ricky Gervais went on to have a successful career as an award-winning comic writer and comedian. He is mostly known as the co-writer and star of the successful hit BBC comedy The Office, and more recently Extras."




And here's a bit I read about last year, but never watched. More's the pity, because this is freaking hilarious.
