Ricky Gervais, one of the world’s most popular British comedians, will be visiting us this summer. The irreverent stand-up champion announced this morning that he will be bringing his tour with him Armageddon 12 August at the Place Bell in Laval.
Ricky Gervais is back after presenting his SuperNature Tour, which was a huge hit in arenas in 2021 and then on Netflix.
His new tour, produced by Live Nation, will take the 61-year-old comedian to all corners of the world. New dates were announced this morning across the United States and Canada where we will find the comedian at Place Bell in Laval, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and the Beacon Theater in New York. Advance ticket sales start this Friday at 10 a.m.
Ricky Gervais has already performed his new jokes in the UK to critical acclaim. This autumn he will play four nights at the London Palladium, not to mention one night at the gigantic OVO Wembley Arena.
This year he will also be performing across Europe including Vienna, Dublin, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Oslo, Lisbon, Stockholm, Berlin and Munich.
In the United States, the comedian will notably pass by Radio City Music Hall in New York and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
“When I was invited to play the iconic Hollywood Bowl, I said, ‘What if it rains?’ It’s not bad how the British think,” Gervais said in a statement.
Ricky Gervais is best known for creating the award-winning British series The Office with Stephen Merchant in 2001. In addition to his Netflix special SuperNature, he also created the dark comedy After Life for the platform.
He humorously presented six international stand-up tours. He also hosted the Golden Globes ceremony five times from 2010 to 2020.
