Good news because Ricky Gervais has added more dates to his next stand-up tour

While certain people seem intent on tearing the world apart, it's fitting to reflect on Ricky Gervais' take on what the most violent and destructive animal on the planet is.

Ok, mankind has made some massive f**k-ups in the past, but our indiscretions pale in comparison to the real threat that's out there, the gigantic man-eating gorilla. Look at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsqm5l0XBkE Clip via - fullofletters If you fancy a distraction from some of the bleaker events in the world, or an escape from this King Kong-sized beast, the comedian has just the thing for you. Gervais has added more dates to his first worldwide stand-up tour in seven years and tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday February 24 via Livenation. Regarding the upcoming tour, he said : ‘Humanity is my angriest, most honest and I think my best tour yet. It’s probably my most personal too. I feel I may as well tell you everything before I die." https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/832533992205406208 Here are all the dates that have been announced in the UK and Ireland.
