Is there no limit to this man’s energy? Creating
epoch-making sitcoms, knocking up record- breaking comedic downloads and jetting across the waters to meet his laughter heroes such as Larry David and Garry Shandling. And getting paid for it. And he even still has time for a Richter magnitude scale- worrying belly laugh or five. But will his audiences? Probably. Fame is the name of the game for Ricky on this tour as he chats about just how
odd this celebrity Iark is.
