The company has supplied many previous projects for McIntyre's including Dancing on Ice, Peter Kay, Bottom, Chris Rock, Russell Brand, The Mighty Boosh, and not forgetting - notably - a pair of giant 20ft red underpants for one of the Little Britain tours.
The basic touring package was specified by Adam Scott, the tour's production manager, complete with a selection of "get out of trouble" items.
Cover It Up's Rhys Sion says, "It's been great working with the team at Phil McIntyre Entertainment again and especially with Adam Scott. The drapes give the stage clean edges and the versatility of the touring package has made the tour possible in venues with such variable dimensions to accommodate the touring set."
Included in the package are black wool serge (BWS) lighting and video truss borders, legs, headers and a set backdrop plus over 25m of tab track.
The backdrop consists of a 40ft x 20ft black wool serge cloth, and there are a total of five 48ft by 2ft drop lighting and video truss borders. The tabs border is another 48ft wide by 2ft 6" length, and the four legs each measure 4ft wide with 25ft drop. There are two 6ft x 27ft BWS legs for the front tabs, and the drapes picture is completed with the two 25ft x 25ft tabs themselves.
The Ricky Gervais tour started at the end of August at Glasgow's SECC and has just finished at the Brighton Centre.
