Tickets for the show go on sale on September 27.

The global tour is set to run through to the end of 2025, taking in the biggest arena venues across Europe and North America.

It follows his most recent stand-up special, Armageddon, which won a Golden Globe, hit number one on Netflix and claimed the world record for the highest grossing comedy gig of all time.

With more than 80 work-in-progress shows now under his belt this year, Ricky 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.”
