Derek is my absolute favourite show, had no idea David had such limited acting experience before it - not only was Kev crude and hilarious, but some of his monologues to camera were truly touching. "I'm not a failure because I didn't succeed, I'm a failure because I didn't try" is a brilliant quote.

Everyone needs to get on the Chatabix patreon and sweet talk him into getting Gittins to make an appearance on their tour.

He was by far the best character in the show. So funny every time. Ricky has an amazing knack for spotting gold when he sees it.

Honestly the best guest you have had. Been a listener since the start and the chemistry between each other was spot on. Alfie was fantastic on this!

Kev was the best part of Derek, i would love to see Kev get his own series with his brother and Dougie the Handyman lol

I honestly did not know Earle was not an actor. He's an amazing Talent. That's the Brilliance of Gervais, he finds people Like Pilkington, Earle etc. Kev was a brilliant character, Derek seen the good in him, despite all his faults. Brilliant writing and acting.

Ricky's character Derek was so endearing. He got a lot of stick for doing it but he should of been given an award! After all there are people like that in real life. It was brilliant. Made me laugh and cry

He’s hilarious, and I want to thank him for the laughs, as Derek was amazing! I recently visited my family in England, as I live in Australia now, and my parents and I watched the entire thing. Truly wonderful. I love Ricky, and that goes without saying. I appreciate the heart warming moments, and the belly laughing. Merry Christmas 🎄

David's a wonderful actor. He's great in Derek and in Brian & Charles. Hilarious in After Life, too.

Derek for me is Rickys best. David Earl seems a lovely bloke and the delivery of that infamous line mentioned was fantastic

Brian and Charles is up there for film of the year for me, David is fantastic.

David Earl's Brian and Charles film is a gem, well acted, a joy to watch, if you want to have a good laugh watch that film. ~Trooper

David earle and Joe Wilkinson do a podcast called gossip mongers and it's one of the funniest things I've ever listened to. People write in about messed up things that have happened to them and these two read them out. I want it to blow up so they put more effort into episodes because its just absolute 🥇

Dave earls 'kev' is without a doubt, the BEST character ever thought up. The amount of times he's had me in stitches is unhealthy 😂 love derek its quality. Great podcast this

The wig, the glasses, the catchphrase.... brilliant!

Gervais is an absolute king maker. Great talent recognition.

I was absolutely one of those that didn’t take to Kev as a character in the first few episodes, it just felt like he didn’t need to be there. And then I soon realised exactly why he was there. I was wrong. David played it perfectly and Derek is one of my all time favourite sitcoms.

David Earle is actually incredible, if you haven't I'd strongly recommend watching Brian and Charles. Can't beat his odd humour!

David Earl is brilliant one of my all time favourite British comedy actors

easily the best character in Derek and afterlife!! he is pure comedy genius!!!

Great guy. This made me watch Derek again. He is literally THE funniest character in the whole show. Love him.

Alright boy

Dave E provides us with a great life lesson ‘Better to be looked over than overlooked’ when his creative juices got him making the monster clip which he then sent off on a recommendation leading him to Ricky G & Stephen M. Credit to them sensing his immense talent and then Ricky exploring more with Derek and Afterlife with brilliant characters and dialogue that Dave E not only brought to life but provided such a richness and depth to someone flawed but oh so real. Given the opportunity Dave E could carry off a dramatic role with ease, the darker the better😎👌

The best podcast you've done imo, sooooo funny and David's laugh gets me everytime

Best part of each show he's been on

Kev from Derek was fucking top tier improv comedy I never fail to laugh

love chatabix happy to see him on here played every ep of his from the start. I love the unprofessional appeal and day to day pod funny and i love it keep it up CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!

Knowing this makes me respect/love Gervais even more, and that already was impossible!

I honestly think Kev is actually one of the best characters in the series. Ricky had a real knack for exploiting peoples potential until its refined enough for greatness.

Never fail to get interesting guests

" I'm not a failure because I didn't succeed, I'm a failure because I didn't even try " ❤️👍

I've watched the whole series of Derek at least 4 or 5 times only because of Kev. So funny and talented.

Derek was one of the best shows ever . It was a raw and beautiful insight into aged care . Derek was the embassador of the humble goodness . In service to others I loved it !

EVERYTHING Gervais does, The Office, Extras, Derek, is solid gold. But strangley, his stand up comedy leaves me cold. Oh well.

Cumbo was the character that me and my friends were obsessed with at Uni in about 2012. It’s the closest to an everyday character that you can get to and in my opinion the funniest he has created.

Nice work on this pod ep boys! Crunch crunch David! 👋🏻

This was great! You need to get David Earl back on the pod sometime soon

I'm amazed he's not a trained actor.......he's one of my fav characters!!!! Good job wow!!!!

Brian and Charles was so fun! David can be funny, touching and many more. Super recommended

Great episode ❤

He’s brilliant! Kev twine vest character on there ! Loved the well get a pair of fing gloves there ! Scene 😂

Derek took the best shortcut you can, the only shortcut that's good, the only shortcut that works.. And that's kindness.. WHAT a scene.. now we know why his fingers were shaking, genuine nerves.. WHAT an actor..

He's absolutely brilliant 😂

Went to see Brian Gittins doing his live show about 5 years ago, still the funniest show I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds of comedy shows. The man is a comedy genius and I honestly don't think he knows it. Brian and Charles is effing hilarious. Crunch crunch etc... x
