The comedian posted the exclusive first trailer for The Office spin-off, David Brent: Life On The Road on his Twitter this morning.
The film catches up with Brent twelve years on from the BBC mockumentary ‘The Office’ to find he is now a travelling salesman with Lavichem, a cleaning and ladies’ personal hygiene products company. However, he hasn’t given up on his dream of rock stardom and is about to embark on a self-financed UK tour with his band, ‘Foregone Conclusion’.
He assembles 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.
The clip features Brent singing a suitably cringey song to a morto workmate.
It will hit the big screens on the 19th August.
We can't wait. Let's face it, he's "rock n roll through and through."
