Ricky Gervais Mortality: Gervais Brings His Dark Humour to Glasgow with New Show
Comedy fans in Glasgow are in for a treat as the controversial and boundary-pushing comedian Ricky Gervais performs his latest stand-up spectacular, ‘Mortality‘, at the SEC Armadillo 18th and 19th February 2025.
The Golden Globe Winner Returns
Fresh from the unprecedented success of his Netflix special ‘Armageddon’, which claimed the world record for the highest-grossing comedy gig of all time, Gervais is set to push comedic boundaries once again. The comedian, known for his unflinching approach to taboo subjects, will perform at the SEC Armadillo on the 18th and 19th of February 2025, with doors opening at 18:30 on both nights.
What to Expect from ‘Mortality’
With his characteristic wit and sardonic humour, Gervais plans to tackle the ultimate taboo: death itself. Having already performed over 80 work-in-progress shows this year, the comedian promises to examine the absurdities of both life and death with his trademark irreverence. As he succinctly puts it, ‘We’re all gonna die. May as well have a laugh about it.’
A Netflix Special in the Making
Following the pattern of his previous successful shows, ‘Mortality’ will be filmed for Netflix, offering fans worldwide the chance to experience Gervais’s dark humour from the comfort of their homes. However, nothing quite matches the electric atmosphere of experiencing his razor-sharp wit live.
Ticketing Innovation
The SEC Armadillo is implementing Safetix, a cutting-edge digital ticketing system, for these performances. This new technology ensures tickets cannot be duplicated or screenshot, providing enhanced security for ticket holders. The mobile-first approach means tickets are stored securely in the Ticketmaster account, accessible through their mobile app.
Practical Information
Tickets are priced at £44.30, including admin fees, and the shows are strictly for audiences aged 16 and over. For those requiring accessible seating, dedicated booking options are available through the venue’s accessible booking line.
Getting There
The SEC Armadillo’s central location in Glasgow makes it easily accessible by public transport, with dedicated parking available for those travelling by car. The venue’s doors open at 18:30, though specific showtimes will be announced approximately three days before each performance.
For anyone who has followed Gervais’s career from The Office through to his recent Netflix successes, ‘Mortality’ promises to be another masterclass in pushing comedic boundaries while tackling life’s biggest questions with his characteristic blend of intelligence and irreverence.
