Ricky Gervais is undoubtedly one of the most influential comedians of the 21st century. With his keen sense of social taboos, the British actor, director and writer has revolutionised the modern comedy landscape.
From «The Office» to global phenomenon
Gervais celebrated his global breakthrough in 2001 with the mockumentary series «The Office». As the embarrassingly awkward boss David Brent, he created a cult figure for the ages and had a significant influence on the genre of cringe humour. But he never rested on his laurels: with further TV hits such as «Extras», «Derek» and the latest Netflix phenomenon «After Life», he impressively proved that he is not only a master of biting satire, but also capable of telling deeply moving stories about grief and humanity.
Relentless live on stage
While his series enjoy cult status, Ricky Gervais is an absolute force of nature as a stand-up comedian. His shows fill the largest arenas worldwide and are known for razor-sharp observations and fearless political incorrectness.
His appearances as Golden Globe host, where he grilled the Hollywood elite, also remain unforgettable. The global star, who has won seven BAFTAs, three Golden Globes and two Emmys, guarantees an evening of brilliant rhetoric. Anyone who experiences Ricky Gervais live can look forward to provocation and laughter to the point of pain.
