Robin Ince is an old friend of Ricky Gervais's, arguably most notable for his role as Ricky's support act in the 'Politics' and 'Fame' tours. He was also a co-writer of 'Meet Ricky Gervais'. He appears in the extra features of the 'Politics' DVD, with the commentary over Ricky's stand-up containing a diary written for him by Ricky Gervais. The commentary was later released as a podcast. He also appeared in one episode of The Office as Stuart Foot, an applicant for the position of David Brent's PA.
