Ricky Gervais announces further 2023 ‘Armageddon’ World Tour dates

Pip Ellwood-Hughes

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.

“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,” said Gervais.

Tickets will be available starting with a Live Nation presale beginning Wednesday 29th March at 10am local time. The general on sale will begin Friday 31st March at 10am local time onlivenation.com. Tickets for previously announced dates are available now on livenation.com .

Comedian Ricky Gervais performs at the Golden Globes.

Get ready for buttons to be pushed, lines to be crossed and laughs to be had.

Outspoken creator and star of the British “The Office” Ricky Gervais is crossing the pond and heading to the U.S. and Canada for four huge shows in June, July and August as part of his massive, international ‘Armageddon Tour.’

That includes back to back gigs at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Friday, June 30 and Saturday, July 1.

Want to see Gervais live as he prepares material for his 2024 Netflix special?

Well, thankfully, you can still pick up last-minute tickets for the five-time Golden Globe host’s pair of Big Apple gigs.

They’re not particularly cheap though.

Should you choose to see the funnyman in Canada come August, you’ll find much more affordable inventory.

Based on our findings, some tickets started at $60 USD before fees for those shows.

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, the award-winning comedian, actor, writer, and director, has announced further massive arena dates on his Armageddon World Tour.

Produced by Live Nation, tickets for all new dates on Ricky Gervais: Armageddon will go on general sale this Friday 31st March, as Gervais continues 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.

“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,” said Gervais.

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. Netflix have already bought the rights to Armageddon, which will stream as Ricky’s next Netflix special in early 2024.

As Gervais has done with his previous tours, profits made on the more expensive Platinum tickets for his shows will be donated to charity.

About Ricky Gervais

Last Updated: 14th March 2024

Considered one of the most influential British comedians since Charlie Chaplin, (he received the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy 2016 BAFTA/LA) Ricky Gervais is now doing warm up shows in 2024 ahead of a brand new tour rumoured to be announced later this year.

The creator and star of The Office, Extras, Derek, and the critically acclaimed recent hit After Life (Netflix), Ricky Gervais has won countless awards. Having enjoyed huge critical success for the outstanding first series of After Life, which was released on Netflix in March 2019, Ricky has since written and finished filming on a second series, which will land on Netflix in 2020. His hit series The Office is the most successful British comedy of all time, shown in more than 90 countries with seven remakes.

His last tour, Armageddon, was released on Netflix on 25 December 2023. The special faced controversy for making a joke on cancer patients but later won for 'Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television' at the 81st Golden Globe Awards.

Ricky Gervais: Armageddon | Review of comic's tour as he works towards his next Netflix special

Ricky Gervais: Armageddon

Review of comic's tour as he works towards his next Netflix special

How nice it would be to write about Ricky Gervais without going over the same old ‘cancel culture’ talking points which so consumes those who rarely actually see live comedy.

But he’s the one leaning into it, setting himself up as the crusading defender of saying bad things in jest, whatever the wokey snowflakes say. A sincere postscript tells us comedy is like an inoculation, the way we learn to deal with the nasty things in life with a little unthreatening dose of reality.

His stance is posited as rebellious, although often there’s barely any distance between him and Jim Davidson or a Daily Mail editorial, sneering, for example, at how all those so-called refugees are all surprisingly strapping males…

Not that sanctimonious liberals should be off-limits for comedy – far from it. But too often, Gervais’s plan of attack is just totell off-colour jokes about paedophiles, Aids-ridden African babies, the Holocaust, rape, severely disabled kids, dwarves and paedophiles again. Sometimes the sheer brutality of these lines is crushingly effective, but the effect is diminished by constant repetition. 

Any element of surprise is gone when all you ever do is voice the worst, most inappropriate things. Even if ‘saying the unsayable’ is at the core of this sort of sub-Sadowitzian bad-taste comedy, it’s not so much offensive – however much Gervais would like it to be – as dull. Like an excitable teenager testing boundaries, he sniggers away at how naughty he’s being as the grown-ups roll their eyes, hoping he’ll grow out of it. At 61, there’s little sign of that.

Yet there are plenty of fans for this brand of stick-it-to-the-liberals comedy and Gervais has exploited that more successfully than anyone else. His current batch of shows, relatively advanced works in progress towards the next money-spinning Netflix special, are announced just days ahead of time and sell out big theatres in minutes.  

And it doesn’t take too long for the never-modest Gervais to mention that his last special, SuperNature, was the most-watched on the platform last year. And also one of the most contentious after Dave Chappelle 's. In one small concession, Gervais now largely steers clear of the sort of material that attracted valid complaints of transphobia last time around.

Of course, we’re not supposed to literally believe everything he says. He sets himself up as an idiot early doors, the sort of guy so privileged and out-of-touch that he has his central heating and air conditioning battle it out, just because he’s wealthy enough that he can. That routine also serves as yet another reminder of his high status.

For Gervais is as tribal as those wokies he mocks. He laments political comics who get applause breaks just by telling liberal crowds precisely what they want to hear – conveniently oblivious to the fact he’s doing exactly the same with his more reactionary devotees. But in what a cynic would surely call virtue-signalling of his own, he does burnish his good-guy credentials, talking about his charity work or the money his expensively-priced premium tickets are raising for animal charities. 

Armageddon adheres only very loosely to any theme about humanity might end. True to his message, he suggests millennia of evolution have allowed us to conquer all the dangers nature could throw our way – but are now wounded by words.

A minor but telling point is that he misrepresents Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ axiom to assume it means the strongest Alpha Males pass on their genes – Andrew Tate would surely agree – when the phrase actually refers to the individuals best suited to their environment. Even more ironically, Gervais makes it a point of pride that he’s not evolving with the times.

A few lines nail his points about the censorious Left with finesse. There’s a lovely, slippery gag about cultural appropriation that ends where few could predict, a line about how we too easily throw around the word ‘fascist’ – and a joke about Chinese slave labour that highlights the issue, even while he affects zero sympathy for it. But these serve only to highlight how simplistic some of his other routines are, getting a knee-jerk laugh from words like ‘nonce’.

The delivery is stronger than the writing – though some of it’s from assimilation: he’s fully absorbed Stewart Lee ’s sarcastic, sneery laugh, for instance. And he plays more to mischievous piss-taking than polemic, even though his position on the ‘free speech’ debate is always clear. But it’s also getting boring now.
