When I left Wernham Hogg, I found myself again, and I started to do what I do best - entertain.
David Brent: Life on the Road is the big screen debut of one of comedy鈥檚 best-loved characters, David Brent (Ricky Gervais). The film catches up with Brent twelve years on from the 91热爆's The Office to find he is now a travelling salesman with Lavichem, a cleaning and ladies鈥� personal hygiene products company. However, he hasn鈥檛 given up on his dream of rock stardom and is about to embark on a self-financed UK tour with his band, 'Foregone Conclusion'.
Assembling a group of session musicians who are just in it for the money, and talented rapper Dom (Ben Bailey Smith) in an attempt to gain street cred, Brent cashes in his pensions and takes unpaid leave in a bid to turn his dream into reality. This is one last shot at fame and fortune.
David Brent: Life on the Road is written, directed by and stars Ricky Gervais, with original music and lyrics by Gervais, musical arrangement by Andy Burrows (Razorlight, We Are Scientists) and raps by Ben Bailey Smith.
