Comedian Ricky Gervais will perform his new stand-up show Legend at York Barbican on 15 February, to be filmed for his fifth Netflix special.

Ricky Gervais has announced a return to York Barbican on Monday, 15 February, for his brand-new stand-up tour. The British comedian, writer, actor and filmmaker will perform his latest show, Legend, which will be filmed for his fifth Netflix special. Netflix has already acquired rights to stream the special, though financial details remain undisclosed.

Gervais described the show as 'my most personal show so far' and noted that 'because both cancel culture, and most people I knew growing up, are dead, I can really say what the f*** I want now.' He added that the Netflix deal is 'my favourite deal so far'.

The comedian has achieved international acclaim with four previous Netflix specials: Humanity, Supernature, Armageddon and Mortality. Armageddon and Mortality won him Golden Globes for Stand-Up Comedy on Television in 2024 and 2026. Gervais is best known for creating and starring in The Office, Extras, Derek and the Netflix series After Life.

He will again donate a portion of ticket sales to charity. His Mortality tour in 2025 raised £2.43 million for global animal charities.
