Don't know for sure. The U.S. stand-up special I saw was story-based, but in the conventional hour long series of semi-related tales that many stand-ups have done for television. I think that's different enough from what Gray did that it's not the same thing.
Now I'm very unfamiliar with what Ferguson did during his U.K.-based career. I've seen snippets of various comedy performances, but I can't claim any serious knowledge of all he did before coming Stateside in the early to mid 90s.
