Ricky Gervais announces "Humanity" World Tour, playing Theatre at MSG

Ricky Gervais has announced his first standup tour in seven years. He’s calling his new show/tour “Humanity” and says this about what to expect:

I chose the best and worst year to return to stand up. It’s great in the sense that there’s lots of shit for me to rant about, but it’s bad in the sense that my ‘schtick’ has always been playing the arrogant, misinformed know-it -all, who says the wrong thing. It’s worked well for me. But now I worry half the room agrees with those things without seeing the irony. It’s a tricky one. Still. …. Humanity is turning out to be my best stand up yet. I think it’s because truth is so important now.

The NYC stop on the Humanity Tour happens at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden on May 21. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, February 24 at 10 AM. All tour dates are listed below.

In other news, Ricky’s movie, David Brent: Life on the Road, which picks up the story of his original The Office character as he gives up life as a salesman to try and reignite his music career, premiered on Netflix earlier this month. You can watch the trailer for that below.
