Ricky Gervais has announced the first few European arena dates for his highly-anticipated, brand-new stand-up show ‘MORTALITY’, to include a show at 3Arena on Wednesday, 26 & Thursday, 27 March 2025.With more 2025 European shows to be announced in due course, he today announces the first few planned dates, visiting some of Europe’s biggest capital city arenas in Portugal (Lisbon), France (Paris), Republic of Ireland (Dublin), Austria (Vienna), Norway (Oslo) and Switzerland (Zurich).Fresh from his most recent stand-up special ‘Armageddon’ winning a Golden Globe, hitting Number 1 on Netflix and claiming the world record for the highest grossing comedy gig of all time, ‘Mortality’ will once again be filmed for Netflix. With over 80 work-in-progress shows now under his belt this year, 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.”As Gervais has done with his previous tours, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity – £1.91 million was donated to worldwide animal charities at the end of his Armageddon tour in 2023.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 Gervais is the creator and star of The Office, Extras, Derek, and the critically acclaimed Netflix hit After Life.
Following the global success of his two previous Netflix stand-up specials ‘Humanity’ and ‘Supernature’, 2023 saw Gervais release a third special and his biggest to date, ‘Armageddon’. It won a Golden Globe, was the global number 1 most-watched show on Netflix, and followed a record-breaking international tour, selling out 85 arena dates across the world. Gervais’s show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-grossing comedy gig ever.
Throughout 2024 – 2025, he will be touring his latest stand-up show ‘Mortality’ around the globe.
Gervais has won countless awards across his career and enjoyed huge critical success for the outstanding three series of After Life. His hit series The Office is the most successful British comedy of all time, shown in more than 90 countries, with 13 remakes.
