Ricky Gervais

Olympiahalle.

Er ist einer der phänomenalsten Comedians der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte, prämiert mit mehreren Auszeichnungen, darunter einem Golden Globe. Nun geht der britische Topstar Ricky Gervais mit einem neuen Programm wieder auf Tour. Nach „Animals“, „Fame“, „Politics“ und „Supernature“ kommt er am 1. Dezember 2023 mit „Armageddon“ in die Olympiahalle. Zwischen tiefschwarzem Humor und feiner Ironie, mit garantiert grandiosen Pointen.

Seinen Durchbruch feierte der 1961 in Reading geborene Schauspieler mit der vielfach preisgekrönten BBC-Serie „The Office“, mit der Hauptfigur des David Brent. Gervais war mit dafür verantwortlich, dass „The Office“ mit Ausstrahlungen in mehr als 90 Ländern nicht nur die erfolgreichste britischen TV-Serie aller Zeiten wurde, sondern 2004 auch die erste aus UK, die mit einem Golden Globe ausgezeichnet wurde – so wie auch Ricky Gervais selbst für die beste Hauptrolle in einer Serie im Bereich Musical oder Comedy.

Auch mit seinem zweiten Comedy-Projekt „Extras“ gelang ihm ein überwältigender Erfolg, in der Sitcom als Gäste waren unter anderem Größen wie Ian McKellen, David Bowie, Kate Winslet und Daniel Radcliffe zu sehen. Doch nicht nur auf dem Bildschirm, auch in seinen Live-Shows zählt Ricky Gervais zu den ganz großen Solo-Entertainern der Gegenwart. So wie seine bisherigen vier Programme wird er am 1. Dezember 2023 auch in „Armageddon“ beste Comedy made in England auf die Bühne der Olympiahalle bringen. Ein Abend, der gefüllt sein wird mit reichlich Wortspielen und Wortwitz, mit unterhaltsamen Alltags-Anekdoten, feinster Ironie und beißend böser Gesellschafts-Satire. British Humour vom Feinsten.

Ricky Gervais has announced a slew of new arena tour dates for his massive ‘Armaggedon' World Tour.

Produced by Live Nation, the show will see Gervais continue to take his brand-new stand-up show to audiences around the globe, throughout this year and into 2024.

The acclaimed British comedian has already visited some of the biggest venues in the UK across the Armageddon tour, and today announces further UK dates in Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol. 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).

With some of the biggest European venues already under his belt in Amsterdam, Prague & Helsinki, Gervais now announces further arena gigs across Europe for 2023, in Vienna, Dublin, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Oslo, Lisbon, Stockholm, Berlin and Munich.

Stateside, Gervais was already lined up to play two sell-out shows at NY’s Radio City Music Hall (30th June & 1st July), and a night at LA’s Hollywood Bowl (6th May), which is set to be one of his biggest stand-up gigs yet.

Today, further US & Canada dates have been announced in New York (Beacon Theatre, 1st May), Toronto (Scotiabank Arena, 10th August) and Montreal (Place Bell, 12th August).

“Ricky Gervais is Britain’s biggest comedian. He sells out arenas around the world,” said Ian Coburn, Live Nation.

Gervais performed a number of Armageddon warm-up shows last year. Back in June, he joked that he had reported his fans “for hate crimes” for laughing at this new material.

“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 announces new world tour Mortality that will 'laugh at death'

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Ricky Gervais has proved he doesn’t fear being ‘cancelled’ again as he announced his new world tour and Netflix special, Ricky Gervais: Mortality, which will “laugh at the absurdities of death”.

Last year, the comedian sparked outrage with his Netflix special, Armageddon, which included jokes about asylum seekers and terminally ill children.

The Office star faced backlash after he referred to sick children as “baldies” and questioned the wishes of those meeting him through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, asking them, “Why don't you wish to get better?” in one widely shared clip on social media.

Teasing his upcoming tour, Gervais said: “We're all gonna die. c. Mortality looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on.”

The tour is set to kick off later this year, with dates yet to be revealed. and will be filmed for his latest Netflix special of the same name.

It marks Gervais' fourth special with the streamer. Last year, Armageddon topped Netflix's most-watched list, earning him the inaugural Golden Globe for stand-up comics.

Prior to this, his international tour broke records, including selling out 85 arena dates.

In December, Gervais defended a joke he made in his comedy special about terminally ill children, telling critics he wished them "luck" in getting it removed.

In the wake of the snippet appearing online, a  Change.org  petition was launched demanding Netflix remove the sketch from Armageddon, which was released on Christmas Day.

Speaking on  BBC Radio 5 Live  with Nihal Arthanayake about using the word "baldy" in the skit, the 63-year-old said: “In that little sketch, I’m becoming an idiot who would say that, and I don’t do that. I even say that in the skit.

“That’s why ‘I’m offended’ is quite meaningless because what’s your argument? What do you want me to change? You’ve said you don’t like it, that’s fair enough.”

When asked if he had seen the petition, the comedian said: “Good luck, that’s what I say to them. Good luck, I’ll even retweet it.”

Gervais said he feels he needs to stop explaining his jokes to those who say they are offended by them.

He added: “I do what’s funniest for the joke. I’ll pretend to be right-wing, I’ll pretend to be left-wing … whatever’s funniest for the joke, the routine to get my point across.

“And some people are confused by that because some people think that a joke is a window to the comedian’s true soul. It’s just not true. It’s a joke. No one thinks that with puns.

“Just because I deal in sort of realism and taboo subjects they think I mean it more than I would if I was doing a silly playground job and I think I’ve got to stop explaining myself because I’ve noticed something that happens, of all the millions of people that watched it and loved it, a few don’t like it.

“If I give them special attention and try and placate them and try and explain to them, I’ve annoyed the other millions of people that got the joke, they’re offended. They go ‘No, you’ve ruined it for us.’ So, I’ve got a duty to the people that like it and get it.

“I wouldn’t sit down with a heckler, would I? If I was playing to 20,000 people and some person shouted, I wouldn’t stop the show and explain to them. I ignore them.”

Justin Timberlake might want to forget past as ‘Forget Tomorrow Tour’ comes to Rupp Arena

T he world of pop music mega-stardom is a bit like Kentucky weather. Just when you get used it, just when you find it comfortable and appealing, everything changes.

Well, maybe not everything. The patterns of recordings designed as charttopping vehicles for artists whose images have already been carefully coiffed have long been built on familiarity and audience expectations. Still, fortunes often shift quickly. Today’s hero can easily become tomorrow’s history lesson.

Exhibit A: Justin Timberlake, a seemingly unconquerable figure in the halls of pop royalty and, more importantly, bankability. He has been a celebrity since his teen years, when a role on Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club led to a hitmaking run with the boy band NSYNC. Then came a carefully paced solo career that yielded a parade of platinum-selling, dance-savvy singles that included “Cry Me a River,” “SexyBack” and “Mirrors.” Estimated solo career global sales according to RCA Records: 54 million albums and 63 million singles. Tack on 10 Grammy Awards to confirm Timberlake’s titan status.

Now, travel with us, preferably not by car, to a more recent past — specifically, to just after midnight on June 18. Having had dinner in Sag Harbor, a Long Island village situated in the celebrity New York paradise known as The Hamptons, Timberlake zips through a stop sign in his BMW, gets pulled over by police, refuses an alcohol test and is arrested for driving while intoxicated .

All of a sudden, the artist already in the midst of a global tour with a pair of Madison Square Garden concerts a mere week away, was appearing in a very different venue for a special one-night engagement courtesy of the Sag Harbor Police Department. It even came with its own merch: a mug shot fit for a modeling agency .

Here is where fame reveals one of its more disparaging sides. Within days, one-liners popped up like kudzu all over the internet. The first of two examples from the social network site Reddit: “Did you hear that Justin Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving? I guess he was not N’Sync with the law.” And a second: “He’s bringing tipsy back.”

The topper came from a more familiar source, Ricky Gervais. The popular comedian/actor has been so open and unapologetic about his own drinking habits that he hosted the Golden Globes with a glass of beer at his side. After Timberlake’s arrest, Gervais posted this message to the singer, as well as to nearly 12 million followers on X: “Did you get the bottle of Dutch Barn Vodka I sent you the other day?” (Dutch Barn is Gervais’ own vodka brand).

Justin Timberlake new album ‘has not performed very well’

Timberlake’s stumble in Sag Harbor has been part of a very public year that is barely half over, a six-month stretch of unflattering news, some of it deserved, some of it distorted.

The most notable bit has been the odd performance of the singer’s sixth and newest album, “Everything I Thought It Was” since it’s release in March. The record entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 4, an impressive debut for any artist. But given his past run of nearly immediate charttopping hits, the showing was viewed by many as disheartening.

“Justin Timberlake’s new album, ‘Everything I Thought It Was ,’ has not performed very well,” wrote Hugh McIntyre in Forbes magazine in May. “The set, which was released in mid-March, was a commercial disappointment upon its arrival, and things haven’t gotten better for the project since then.”

Reviews weren’t exclusively kind, either. Britain’s long-running NME magazine summed up its sentiments on the album in a review headline: “Sullied superstar gets trapped in the typical.”

Adding to the realities of the album’s dull commercial showing was that fact that only two singles were released – “Selfish” and “No Angels.” The former barely crackled the Top 20. The latter didn’t chart on the Billboard Hot 100 at all.

By the time of Sag Harbor, “Everything” had turned to nothing by vanishing from the charts completely.

Justin Timberlake Rupp show technically a sellout, but tickets available

Despite all of that, Timberlake’s current “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” has become, so far, a massive hit. The trade publication Pollstar reported in May that over a million tickets have been sold worldwide for the 85 dates the singer will perform before the before the tour concludes in mid-December. Pollstar also lists most of the concert dates on tour’s initial leg, including a July 9 return to Rupp Arena (the leg’s final performance), as sellouts. As of this writing, though, Ticketmaster.com shows a limited number seats available but a good number of tickets for sale via verified resale.

Still, 2024 has been turbulent ride offstage for the pop star. The Sag Harbor DUI seems to be a tipping point for some critics fed up with decades of unpunished transgressions, from former girlfriend Britney Spears’ accusations of cheating (and worse) during their past relationship in her 2023 memoir “The Woman in Me” to the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” Timberlake literally let rip upon Janet Jackson at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

Novelist Jennifer Weiner was among those voicing frustrations in a New York Times column titled “The Tiresome Mr. Timberlake” published four days after the Sag Harbor DUI arrest.

“Canceled white guys rarely stay canceled,” she wrote. “It seems that the best we can hope for is a chance to briefly hold them responsible for their actions. Meanwhile, the cultural tides that prompted people to reconsider Mr. Timberlake’s actions are shifting back — if they ever really shifted at all.”
