A RICKY GERVAIS tour is always a big thing, one that brings him to South Wales is a really big deal as he doesn’t stop off here quite as often as we’d like. Get ready for ARMAGEDDON which gets to the Motorpoint Arena on Tuesday 15th December.

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 returned to the stage with SuperNature last year, following the global success of his recent Netflix stand-up special Humanity, which was his first in 7 years.

Picking up yet more awards for his collection, Ricky made a rare appearance at the National Television Awards recently, with his partner Jane Fallon. Obviously keen to deliver something as successful as AFTER LIFE on Netflix, he said….

“I’ve got to start writing a new show.

But I’m loving stand-up too much, I really am. That’s my new favourite thing, it is lovely.”

Talking about Armageddon, Ricky said…….

“I’ve done all the warm ups so I’ve got the next show ready. 

That show starts in November and I’ll tour that for the next year, that’s going on Netflix in about a year and a half.”

Ricky is still playing some warm up dates for this tour and if you’re lucky you can grab those for some of the smaller venues. The ARMAGEDDON tour gets to the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff on Tuesday 15th December. Tickets go on sale this Friday from HERE.
