About Ricky Gervais on Tour
For Ricky Gervais, comedy means the freedom to say everything he's not supposed to. Following his worldwide hit Humanity, the British actor, writer and stand-up performer's first full-length live show SuperNature is another no-holds-barred showcase for one of the most fearless wits in contemporary comedy.
His sixth live tour, SuperNature displays the stage prowess Gervais first established when his show Rubbernecker became a hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2001. That same year, Gervais and his regular collaborator Stephen Merchant changed the course of comedy television with the BBC debut of The Office. A groundbreaking mockumentary about a dysfunctional workplace, the series yielded a rich variety of iconic characters, Gervais' most famous creation being general manager David Brent.
Though Gervais followed up the global success of The Office with more hilarious forays into television, radio, film and podcasting, stand-up has remained at the core of his performing career. The 2003 debut of his show Animals marked the beginning of a series of successful comedy tours in the UK and throughout the world. Humanity, recorded for a live special on Netflix, brought a triumphant return to touring in 2017 and 2018. SuperNature is set to debut on Netflix in later 2020.
Ricky Gervais Background
An influential figure in comedy, Ricky Gervais has delighted in pushing buttons and boundaries ever since he first gained wider attention with the 2001 debut of The Office. The series became a favorite of audiences worldwide for its sharp and funny portrayal of a workplace overseen by Gervais' most famous character: the self-obsessed and self-deluded manager David Brent.
Created and written by Gervais with partner Stephen Merchant, The Office led to a wide and wildly creative array of projects, shows and roles in TV, film, radio, podcasting and publishing. Gervais reunited with Merchant for several more TV series, including Extras and Life's Too Short. Gervais' big-screen credits include Muppets Most Wanted, For Your Consideration and the Night at the Museum franchise. Millions of viewers also got a taste of his savage wit during his many stints as host of the Golden Globes.
Ricky Gervais' stand-up career continued with sell-out tours for such shows as Animals and Fame. First performed in 2017 and later released as a live special on Netflix, Humanity established him as a preeminent performer in the comedy world.
Fantastic show! Absolute best comedian for me! I laughed so hard, I left with a headache!! Thank you for a fab evening.
Greatest comedian alive! Had my belly splitting- will definitely come again :)
First off, I never thought we’d get the chance to see Ricky Gervais live. We flew from New Brunswick to Montreal to catch the Laval show. It was so beyond worth it. What an amazing show. His presence is just something that has to be taken in to appreciate. The new material was absolutely hysterical. Really enjoyed Sean as an opening act as well. Was a fantastic show and we are so glad we went.
Laughter truly is the best medicine!! He gave the audience the freedom to laugh and not hold back. In a world where there are so many restrictions, it was refreshing to let go.
Rick is a master of standup, the 90 or so minutes fly by.
The show was a bit boring to be honest. As a 35 years old heterosexual male i was not impressed by Ricky. It was kind of a follow up of Super Nature and it just seemed that 95% of the sketches were predictable. I was expecting more…
Best show I've ever seen. Love his candor and his anti-pc and anti-woke humour. Had lots of laugh. Definitely recommend to see this.
Ricky Gervais was funny, relevant and totally entertaining. He didn’t hold back and the crowd loved every minute of it. The opening act was also terrific.
Ricky was simply great! LOL many many times. Hope he comes back with his next tour! Won’t miss it!
I guess I wanted to leave thinking that he will 100% get cancelled. I feel he left a bit on the table but it was solid nonetheless! Natural, witty, and at points I was embarrassed laughing so hard.
