Hot Trendy News

Ricky Gervais has quietly expanded his “Mortality” world-tour itinerary, dropping a fresh wave of 2025 North American and UK dates that sent ticket searches and social chatter surging overnight. The Emmy-winning creator of “The Office” will now play New York City’s Beacon Theatre on 27 May 2025, a booking that sold out its first presale tranche in minutes according to venue officials. New dates, marquee venues • 26 Apr 2025 – Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY • 27 May 2025 – Beacon Theatre, New York, NY • 31 May 2025 – Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA • 14 Aug 2025 – Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, ON • 15 Nov 2025 – OVO Arena Wembley, London, UK Why the Hollywood Bowl matters The 17,500-seat Hollywood Bowl slot marks the British comic’s biggest stand-up venue to date, hinting that the Los Angeles show could be filmed for his next Netflix special. Gervais’ last special, “SuperNature,” dominated the platform’s global Top 10 in 2022; industry insiders expect Netflix cameras to be rolling again in May as the streamer looks to capitalize on the comedian’s evergreen international fanbase. Ticket demand and pricing trends Early resale data show entry-level seats trending well above face value: $176 at Radio City and $61–$150 for the Hollywood Bowl were the lowest verified secondary-market prices as of this morning. Ticketmaster, Live Nation and venue-site allocations open to the general public at 10 a.m. local time this Friday; fans with Citi, Amex or Live Nation presale codes will get a 48-hour head-start. What to expect from “Mortality” Gervais premiered an early cut of the show in late-night club appearances last winter, riffing on aging, cancel culture and his well-publicized atheism. In a recent tweet he joked, “Writing material about death that’s dying on stage feels oddly fitting.” The final script is still evolving—audiences at Beacon Theatre and Hollywood Bowl should brace for fresh material that could differ sharply from the UK warm-ups. UK & Ireland leg filling fast On the other side of the Atlantic, extra seats have been added for Leeds (First Direct Arena, 26 Jun 2025) and Manchester (O2 Apollo, 9–10 Jun 2025) after initial dates sold out in hours. VIP meet-and-greet packages—which include a pre-show Q&A with Gervais and premium seating—are nearly gone, underscoring the veteran comic’s enduring draw two decades after “The Office” first aired. Social buzz driving the spike Hashtags #MortalityTour and #RickyGervais2025 trended globally on X within an hour of the Hollywood Bowl announcement, while Google searches for “Ricky Gervais tickets” spiked 320 % week-over-week. Fan forums speculate that Gervais could invite celebrity friends—think Karl Pilkington or fellow comic Jimmy Carr—for surprise support slots in LA and London, a pattern established during his “SuperNature” tapings. How to secure seats • Sign up for Ticketmaster Verified Fan before midnight Wednesday for the best shot at face-value pricing. • Set calendar alerts for venue presales (passwords usually “MORTALITY” or “RG2025”). • Compare final checkout totals—dynamic pricing fees vary widely between platforms. • If you miss out, watch for an official Netflix special announcement; past releases have followed live recordings by six to nine months. Bottom line Ricky Gervais’ “Mortality” is shaping up to be his most ambitious stand-up outing yet, pairing arena-level capacity with the intimate, provocative humor that made his earlier specials streaming juggernauts. With limited seats and global buzz accelerating, fans looking to catch the comedian live in 2025 should act fast—or be prepared to wait for the inevitable streaming drop.
