Ricky Gervais has announced that he is coming to Watford and St Albans for three shows later this year as part of his latest tour.

The After Life comedian will be performing a work in progress show for Mortality at Watford Palace Theatre on Monday, September 2.

That will be followed by two more work in progress performances at The Alban Arena in St Albans on Monday, September 16 and Monday, October 7, all starting at 7pm.

Ricky, who co-wrote and starred in beloved series such as The Office and Extras, confirmed that tickets for all three shows will be on sale on Friday, August 30.

The Mortality tour was announced earlier this year and is set to run until the end of 2025, while also being filmed for a Netflix special.

Commenting on the tour, Ricky said: "We’re all gonna die. May as well have a laugh about it. Mortality looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on."
