Ricky Gervais set to perform in Leeds

Ricky Gervais is live at Nottingham Arena in September

RICKY Gervais is set to perform in Leeds for the first time as part of his 100-date world tour Humanity.

Gervais will be at the Leeds First Direct Arena on Friday December 1 following on from a thirteen-night sold out run at London’s Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, in October.

Gervais said: “Thousands of people paying hard earned cash to come and see you live is such a privilege. You’d better have something different, interesting and funny to say.

“Humanity is my angriest, most honest and I think my best tour yet. It’s probably my most personal too. I feel I may as well tell you everything before I die. Hope you enjoy it. Or not. There are no refunds. Just like life I guess.”
