Ricky Gervais record-breaking stand-up show ‘Armageddon’ will premiere on Netflix on Christmas Day, 25th December 2023.
The BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning mind behind ‘The Office’, ‘Extras’ and ‘Afterlife’ takes the stage for a provocative new stand-up special, riffing on the end of humanity, political correctness, family weddings, funerals and Artificial Intelligence. Gervais’ world tour of ‘Armageddon’ has broken numerous records around the world, including when his biggest ever stand-up show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles entered the Guinness World Records. It has seen him play 85 sell-out arena dates across the globe.
Gervais says: “For the next 2000 years people will remember the 25th December as the day ‘Armageddon’ was released on Netflix.”
The special is directed by John L. Spencer, produced by Derek Productions, and was recorded at the world famous London Palladium earlier this year.
‘Armaggedon’ is Gervais’ his third Netflix stand-up special, following ‘Humanity’ (2018) and ‘SuperNature’ (2022). His critically acclaimed, award winning series ‘Afterlife’ is also available on the platform.
