Ricky Gervais

From Mon 9 Nov View Venues, Dates & Times

Ricky Gervais has been called the most influential British comedian since Charlie Chaplin... 
In fact, he’s been called all sorts of things, some of them far less complimentary. 

A comic who very much divides opinion - he’s clever and talented but often criticised for peddling ‘unacceptable’ material, particularly about minorities - there’s certainly no questioning the worldwide impact of the Reading-born 65-year-old. 

After shooting to fame as David Brent in television’s The Office - the BBC mockumentary he co-wrote with Stephen Merchant back in the early noughties - he’s established himself as a star-name funnyman on both sides of the Atlantic, picking up his fair share of glittering awards, critical acclaim and severe reproaches along the way. 

Ricky visits Birmingham this month with Legend, a show which fans who don’t have a ticket will be able to check out on Netflix next year.
