Three minutes of new material to be found in Liberty City's comedy club.
Speaking to Shortlist magazine, Ricky Gervais, co-creator of The Office and Extras, has revealed that he will make a cameo appearance as himself in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft auto IV.
Gervais will be found in Liberty City's comedy club performing a short stand-up routine featuring three minutes of new material plus extracts from his Fame tour.
"It's a first - which always interests me," said Gervais. "It was shot in New York, my favourite place in the world, and I got to wear a tight lycra suit as part of the digital process. No, hold on, that wasn't so good.
"Unfortunately they captured the whole horror, except I look slightly tougher. It is seriously a big deal, though. Games have outsold Hollywood for the past few years so it's nice to be a small part of that."
Gervais also revealed that he will be found outside of the comedy club, but didn't say where.
Grand Theft Auto IV is scheduled for release on April 29 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. To be sure you're 100% ready head over to VideoGamer.com's GTA 4 Survival Guide.
