Ricky Gervais: Armageddon Tour to Come to Leeds FD Arena

Award-winning comedian, actor, writer, and director Ricky Gervais has today announced further massive arena dates on his Armageddon World Tour. And he’ll be at First Direct Arena, Leeds on 25th May 2023 as part of the tour.

Produced by Live Nation, tickets for all new dates on Ricky Gervais: Armageddon will go on general sale on Friday 31st March. And Gervais continues to take his brand-new stand-up show to audiences around the globe. Throughout this year and into 2024.

The acclaimed British comedian has already visited some of the biggest venues in the UK across the Armageddon tour. And he’s now announced further UK dates.

“Britain’s biggest comedian”

“Ricky Gervais is Britain’s biggest comedian. He sells out arenas around the world,” said Ian Coburn, Live Nation.

“When I was invited to play the iconic Hollywood Bowl, I said “What if it rains?” This pretty much sums up how British people think,” said Gervais.

Gervais’s 2021 tour SuperNature was a huge success. And it subsequently became one of the most watched comedy specials of the year on Netflix, when it aired in May 2022. Netflix have already bought the rights to Armageddon, which will stream as Ricky’s next Netflix special in early 2024.

Tickets will be on sale from Friday, March 31 at 10am local time on livenation.com. As Ricky Gervais has done with his previous tours, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity.
