Ricky Gervais announces further 2023 ‘Armageddon’ World Tour dates

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 .

Ricky Gervais breaks world record with latest comedy tour

Charlie Herbert

The comedian now has a world record to add to his accolades

Ricky Gervais has bagged himself a world record with one of his stand-up performances on his recent comedy tour.

The comedian, who rose to stardom in the early 2000s for creating The Office and Extras, has spent most of 2023 taking his Armageddon tour across the world.

And one of his shows on the tour now officially holds the Guinness World Record for the  highest gross for a single stand-up performance  ever.

The stand-up’s show at the Hollywood Bowl in LA on May 6 this year grossed a whopping £1,410,000 ($1,790,206.50).

Along with Emmys, Golden Globes and BAFTAs, Gervais can now add a world record to his collection of accolades thanks to the history-making show in California.

Congratulations to @rickygervais – his Armageddon tour date at Hollywood Bowl in LA has the highest gross for a single stand-up performance 👏 https://t.co/Jg0q3Gtz4Z — Guinness World Records (@GWR) September 4, 2023

Speaking about the record, the British comic said: “As if packing out The Hollywood Bowl wasn’t enough, now Guinness World Records wants to put me in their big book. What a year!”

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

His Armageddon tour will continue throughout the remainder of 2023, including three shows at London’s OVO Wembley Arena (6t October, 20th October, 13th December) and 11 nights at the London Palladium (13-16th and 28-30th September, 11-14th October). 

For those who can’t bag a ticket to one of the shows, Netflix has already secured the rights to the tour, so a special will be dropping on the platform once the tour has come to a close.

If you didn't manage to get tickets to see my record-breaking #Armageddon show live, (there were over 18 million ticket requests apparently), don't worry. Netflix have bought it, so you can watch it from the comfort of your home anywhere in the world after I've finished touring. pic.twitter.com/YtoeVvOCbk — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) September 13, 2023

When Gervais’ last show, SuperNature, landed on Netflix last year, it became one of the most-watched comedy specials that year.

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 has broken yet another record for his Armageddon comedy tour

'there’s a weight of intellect behind my comedy, yeah'.

Dominic Smithers

Ricky Gervais' Armageddon tour has broken yet another record.

The creator of The Office has spent the best part of the last year travelling the world, sharing his unique take on modern life with audiences far and wide:

And it'll come as no surprise to anyone that people have absolutely loved it.

Selling out shows wherever he's been, Gervais has performed to absolutely massive audiences.

Earlier this year, the former XFM presenter officially made it into the Guinness Book of Records following his show at The Hollywood Bowl, which raked in over $1.75 million (£1.41m). Not bad for a night's work, eh?

"Thank you Hollywood Bowl for one of the most surreal nights of my life," he said at the time. "What a venue. What a crowd."

Gervais continued: "I can’t even imagine what my mum would think about me playing the Hollywood Bowl.

"I hope she would be horrified by the language, tell me I looked fat, and be secretly proud."

Speaking previously about his entry into the iconic book, Gervais said it would have been a huge source of pride for his late mum.

"When I was little, I'd get the the Guinness Book of Records for Xmas every year," he wrote on social media.

"The whole family would read it. I think my mum would be prouder of me being in this book than anything else I've done."

But never one to rest on his laurels, Gervais recently added to that impressive accolade when he sold out his show at Toronto’s 20,000 capacity Scotiabank Arena on 10 August, the biggest of any British comic in Canada.

Speaking to LADbible about the latest feat, he said: "I think Armageddon is my favourite tour so far.

"To break the world record at the Hollywood Bowl was surreal, but breaking the record for Canada was very special too as I’m half Canadian. Why else would I have a daft surname like Gervais?"

And if he wasn't rolling in it already, Ricky's worldwide tour has so far made an incredible $32m (£26.4m) along the way, which isn't too shabby... just as long as some of that cash gets spent on his cat.

The tour is set for its final date at Wembley Arena in London on 13 December, ahead of the release of his next Netflix special.

So those of us who didn't manage to get tickets for one of his gigs can at least pretend we were there, right?

After graduating from the University of Leeds with a degree in French and History, he went on to write for the Manchester Evening News, the Accrington Observer and the Macclesfield Express. So as you can imagine, he’s spent many a night wondering just how useful that second language has been. But c'est la vie.

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".
