Netflix reveals writer, director, and comedian Ricky Gervais is returning with his new stand-up special, Ricky Gervais: Morality this Christmas.
Ricky Gervais is returning to Netflix this December. The writer, director, actor, producer, and comedian is back with his new stand-up comedy special, Ricky Gervais: Morality. The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy legend will bring his stand-up tour to the streaming service on December 30th. This marks Gervais’ fourth comedy special to be broadcast on Netflix. Following the success of his previous Netflix specials, Humanity, Supernature, and the Golden Globe-winning Armageddon, the seven-time BAFTA winner is back on stage. He remains as unfiltered as ever.
The stand-up special was filmed earlier this year at the London Palladium. No topic is off limits as Ricky closes out the year with his best show yet. In a special that further solidifies his reputation as one of the most influential voices in comedy, Gervais takes on his own mortality in a brutally honest, darkly funny stand-up special about his life, death, and the state of the world.
RICKY GERVAIS STATEMENT
Gervais said:
“I think Mortality is my most honest and confessional show so far and also my favourite tour. I still can’t believe what a privilege it is to fly around the world making people laugh.”
After his last show, Armageddon, hit number 1 on Netflix in 2023, winning a Golden Globe and earning a Grammy nomination, whilst also claiming the world record for the highest-grossing comedy gig of all time (his show at LA’s Hollywood Bowl), Gervais returned in 2024 with Mortality.
A SELL-OUT TOUR
This December will see Gervais complete a sell-out tour of over 80 arena shows across the globe. These include L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl, N.Y.C.’s Radio City Music Hall, and a 14-night run at the London Palladium. He will have three massive shows at OVO Wembley Arena and sell-outs in Europe’s capital cities. This breaks the box office record for English-speaking comedy shows in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland & the Czech Republic. Earlier this year, he was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As Gervais has done with his previous tours, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales at the end of the Mortality tour will be donated to charity – more details to follow soon on this tour’s donation. At the end of the Armageddon tour in 2023, £1.91 million was donated to worldwide animal charities. He is confident that he has smashed that figure this time.
Ricky Gervais: Morality will premiere on Netflix on December 30th.
