Actor, writer and controversial comic Ricky Gervais has added yet more dates to the 2023 stint of his Armageddon UK tour.

Ever since he wrapped up the first leg of the tour in December 2022, Gervais has continued to book additional dates to meet high levels of demand from fans.

Now, he’s added 14 extra UK shows this spring, with stops in Liverpool, London, Cardiff and more as well as some additional bookings in Europe and the US.

The comedian also recently announced that the Armageddon tour would be appearing on Netflix in the future with the tweet : "Loads of people who couldn’t get tickets asking me if #Armageddon will be on Netflix. The answer is Yes! I will continue touring it throughout 2023 and then it will stream on Netflix around the world in 2024."

Previously, Gervais hadn’t been on tour since 2019 with SuperNature, but now he’s compensating with this extended run of shows, suitable for viewers 16 and over.

As a man who’s been in the comedy business for over 20 years, Gervais has picked up fans from all walks of life. Whether it’s through the cringe-comedy of The Office, the stinging quips of his Golden Globes hosting, or the meaningful commentary in After Life, the comic has proved to be a jack of all trades.

Here’s how you can get yourself a ticket to one of his extra shows.

In the autumn, he will return to London for four dates at the prestigious London Palladium (13th – 16th September) and a massive show at London’s OVO Wembley Arena (6th October).

Ricky Gervais tour tickets 2023: When to get Armageddon tickets, presale details and full list of UK dates

The comedian will also be appearing on stage in venues across the us.

Ricky Gervais is returning for another UK-wide tour, called Armageddon , in 2023.

Gervais received acclaim as well as widespread criticism for his last tour, Humanity , which took place in 2019 and included controversial humour deemed “less entertainment than experiment.”

However, he continues to draw fans to shows that sell out swiftly – as has been the case with the first few nights of his new tour. He has already sold out four arena nights in Newcastle and Manchester, with plenty more dates announced.

Gervais performed a number of  Armageddon  warm-up shows last summer. “Another amazing audience at @lsqtheatre for my #Armageddon new material night,” he wrote on Twitter at the time.

“They laughed at things that shouldn’t be laughed at and I have reported them all for hate crimes. I’ll do more soon.”

How to get Ricky Gervais tickets

The general sale starts from Friday 31 March 31 at 10am local time . Ticket prices have not been released for the upcoming dates yet.

• Birmingham Utilita Arena – September 4
• London Palladium – September 13,14,15,16
• London OVO Arena Wembley – October 6
• Bristol Beacon – December 11 and December 12

Gervais will also be appearing on stage in venues across the US. He will play two sell-out shows at NY’s Radio City Music Hall, and a night at LA’s Hollywood Bowl, which is set to be one of his biggest stand-up gigs yet.

Talking about the massive show, he tweeted: “I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer & my mum did everything to make ends meet. I went to the local comprehensive at the end of my road. Life was tough, I guess. And yet, all I can remember is having a laugh.

“Anyway, in May, I’m playing The Hollywood F****** Bowl”

Ricky Gervais has announced a heap of new dates as he expands his UK and Ireland arena tour.

The After Life star is kicking off his Armageddon World Tour next week and the stand-up show will be taken around the world well into 2024 as with some exciting gigs across the UK and Europe.

As well as arena shows in Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester , Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol, he’ll also be heading to London’s OVO Wembley Arena on October 6.

Before that show, he’ll be returning to the capital for four dates at the prestigious London Palladium from September 13 to 16.

Moving to mainland Europe, Ricky will be performing in Vienna, Dublin, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Oslo, Lisbon, Stockholm, Berlin and Munich.

And while The Office creator was already lined up to perform shows at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, he’s announced some more shows in the US and Canada including NY’s Beacon Theatre, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and Montreal’s Place Bell.

Live Nation’s Ian Coburn said in a statement: ‘Ricky Gervais is Britain’s biggest comedian. He sells out arenas around the world.’

And commenting on the previously announced dates, the comedian quipped: ‘When I was invited to play the iconic Hollywood Bowl, I said “What if it rains?” This pretty much sums up how British people think.’

Gervais’s 2021 tour SuperNature was a huge success and subsequently became one of the most watched comedy specials of the year on Netflix when it aired in May 2022.

The streaming platform has already bought the rights to Armageddon, which will stream as Ricky’s next special in early 2024.

Keeping in line with his previous tours, a portion of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity.

“Another amazing audience at @lsqtheatre for my #Armageddon new material night,” Gervais wrote on Twitter. They laughed at things that shouldn’t be laughed at and I have reported them all for hate crimes. I’ll do more soon.”

Earlier this year, Gervais faced criticism over “transphobic” jokes in his Netflix special SuperNature . After the special was released, the comedian defended making “taboo” jokes , saying comedy is for “getting us over taboo subjects so they’re not scary anymore”.

Ricky Gervais releases Platinum tickets for UK tour

Ricky gervais is taking on touts by adding platinum tickets to his humanity tour..

A limited number of Platinum tickets have been allocated to Ricky Gervais’ new Humanity world tour, guaranteeing premium seats at market rate. The move aims to dissuade touts from accessing the tickets, with some of the profit being donated to charity.

“My frustration with touts is twofold: people spending way over the odds on tickets from illegal touts and, the association that ticket touts are connected in some way to my tour without my consent,” he explains. “Platinum tickets feels like a good way to try and stand up against ticket touts making a fast buck by exploiting fans and this way people willing to pay higher prices will at least know it’s going to charity instead of some scummy tout.

“If this scheme works it will take back some of the millions of pounds scalped every year by touts and divert it to worthy causes. I will split the extra profits generated between Macmillan Cancer Support and the RSPCA.”

The Humanity tour sees Gervais take to the United States, Canada and Europe. Here are those confirmed UK dates:

21 February – Colston Hall, Bristol 22 February – Colston Hall, Bristol 23 February – Colston Hall, Bristol 28 February – Barbican, York 1 March – Barbican, York 6 March – Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff 7 March – Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff 13 March – O2 Apollo, Manchester 14 March – O2 Apollo, Manchester 15 March – Empire, Liverpool 22 March – BIC, Bournemouth 23 March – BIC, Bournemouth 28 March – Waterfront, Belfast 29 March – Waterfront, Belfast

3 April – City Hall, Sheffield 11 April – Guildhall, Portsmouth 25 April – Pavilion, Plymouth 2 May – Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow 9 May – Centre, Brighton 5 June – City Hall, Newcastle 8 June – Playhouse, Edinburgh 13 June – New Theatre, Oxford 18 June – Mayflower, Southampton 28 June – Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham 4 October – Hammersmith Apollo, London 5 October – Hammersmith Apollo, London 6 October – Hammersmith Apollo, London 7 October – Hammersmith Apollo, London

Tickets, including Platinum, for the new dates go on sale at 10:00 on Friday 24 February 2017 through Ticketmaster.co.uk .

Ricky Gervais to increase security ahead of upcoming UK tour - report

The comedian's team have ordered a full security review ahead of his UK tour Armageddon which starts on Wednesday, according to The Sun.

Monday 12 June 2023 10:40, UK

Ricky Gervais is set to increase his security ahead of his upcoming UK tour after he reportedly received death threats following jokes he had made.

Gervais' team have ordered a full security review ahead of his UK tour Armageddon, which starts on Wednesday in Cardiff, according to The Sun.

The 61-year-old comedian co-created hit television shows such as The Office and After Life.

A source told the paper the star has been "made aware threats have been made to his life", including "disturbing letters".

"Ricky is very aware of the dangers and he can afford whatever security he wants, so he thought it was a no-brainer," they added.

The paper reports that it was understood at least one threat referred to comments in his Netflix special SuperNature that were slammed by LGBTQ+ activists for being "anti-trans".

His hour-long routine includes a series of jokes about gender identity and the gay community, which prompted GLAAD, a US LGBT rights group, to call the show "dangerous".

Gervais defended the programme , saying he wanted to take the "audience to a place it hasn't been before".

Earlier this year, Gervais said on Twitter that Armageddon will stream on Netflix from next year.

Last year, comedian Dave Chappelle was "tackled" by a man who was carrying a replica gun containing a knife blade during a stand-up Netflix show in Los Angeles.
