“This is my most personal show so far and because both cancel culture, and most people I knew growing up, are dead, I can really say what the fck I want now,” Gervais said.

The award-winning comedian will embark on the new Legend tour from September – December 2026, visiting the biggest arenas across the UK. Gervais’ four previous tours Humanity, SuperNature, Armageddon and Mortality all broke box office records and topped the Netflix charts upon release. Armageddon and Mortality both won Ricky a Golden Globe for Stand-Up Comedy on Television, in 2024 and 2026 respectively.
