this is him playing guitar in the office (uk version), singing an orginal song that got very well known over here.

i cant find a clip on youtube, but when he was younger, he was actually quite slim and (dare i say it), not a bad looking bloke who had a chart single singing with a band. ill try find the clip.

edit - found a clip of his single being shown here on a comedy show in the uk

Have you ever noticed how many comedians play an instrument? There are quite a few. Steve Martin, Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Spinal Tap, just to name a few.

Some have called my guitar playing comedic...but I don't think they were referring to my sense of humor! :D

I love Freelove Freeway by Ricky Gervais. I first learned of him when a band here covered them. Here's their clip:

Comedians themselves too.
