Ricky Gervais has announced the first UK dates for his new stand-up show ‘Mortality'.
Kicking off this October, Gervais will start by visiting 11 major UK theatre and arena venues in York, Oxford, Newcastle, Manchester, St Albans, Brighton, Nottingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Ipswich and Birmingham. Further dates will be announced in due course, with this new global tour from Gervais set to run through to the end of 2025, taking in the biggest arena venues across the UK, Europe and North America.
The new tour follows Gervais' stand-up special ‘Armageddon‘, which won a Golden Globe and topped the Netflix charts. ‘Mortality' will be filmed and aired on Netflix in the future.
With over 80 work-in-progress shows now under his belt this year, Gervais said, “We’re all gonna die. May as well have a laugh about it. ‘Mortality' looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on.”
Dutch Barn Vodka (co-owned by Gervais) is offering its customers priority access to pre-sale tickets for the ‘Mortality’ world tour at www.dutchbarn.com. Subscribe & Save customers of Dutch Barn Vodka will be provided with a link and unique code to access pre-sale tickets on Wednesday 25th September at 10am.
As Gervais has done with his previous tours, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity – £1.91 million was donated to worldwide animal charities at the end of his Armageddon tour in 2023.
