Actor-comedian Ricky Gervais has announced that he will be embarking on a new comedy tour titled “Ricky Gervais: Mortality” later this year. According to the entertainment news outlet Deadline, the tour will run through the end of 2025 and culminate in a new stand-up special for Netflix. Gervais’ special for Netflix will be his fourth for the streaming service. His earlier collaborations with Netflix include “Humanity” (2018), “SuperNature” (2022), and “Armageddon” (2023). In a statement, the comedian 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.” Gervais and Netflix have had a robust partnership, and his last special, “Armageddon”, won a Golden Globe. It also spent time at No. 1 on Netflix’s most-watched list and holds the world record for the highest-grossing comedy special of all time.
