Mortality is typically not a very funny topic.
Still, that won’t stop Ricky Gervais from exploring the touchy subject on his ‘Mortality Tour,’ which will eventually be filmed for a Netflix special.
“We’re all gonna die,” Gervais said in a statement. “May as well have a laugh about it. Mortality looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on.”
The world tour, which was announced back in June, just extended its own life by adding four North American dates including a show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Friday, April 25.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming ‘Mortality’ shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for Gervais’ four newly announced North American gigs is Friday, Oct. 25.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Ricky Gervais comedy specials
‘The Office’ creator’s intercontinental jaunt follows the smash success of his 2023 special “Armageddon.”
“My last tour ‘Armageddon’ broke the world record, won a Golden Globe, and was the Number 1 special on Netflix. The first tickets to my new tour ‘Mortality’ go on sale today. No pressure,” Gervais joked on Instagram.
If you haven’t seen “Armageddon” — or any of Gervais’ other past specials — here’s how you can find them:
“Animals” (2003) is streaming on Apple TV
“Politics” (2004) can be purchased on Amazon
“Fame” (2007) is streaming on YouTube
“Science” (2010) is streaming on Google Play
“Humanity” (2018) is streaming on Netflix
“SuperNature” (2021) is streaming on Netflix
“Armageddon” (2023) is streaming on Netflix
Gervais has received blowback for making jokes about transgender people, cancer patients and others over the years.
In 2022 GLAAD issued a statement about “SuperNature” saying “We watched the Ricky Gervais ‘comedy’ special on Netflix so you don’t have to. It’s full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes. He also spouts anti-gay rhetoric and spreads inaccurate information about HIV.”
