Following his visit to York, Gervias tweeted: “Thanks to the amazing Armageddon crowd in York tonight. Might be my favorite performance for this tour so far. I also loved visiting the railway museum. In fact, I think I like pretty much everything here. Maybe I’d lose some of the rain Anyway, see you soon.”

Reviewers of the show say it pushes the boundaries further than its Netflix special super nature. This show drew a lot of backlash after his comments about transgender people. Gervais devoted a significant portion of the show to commenting on the trans community, joking that “old-fashioned women” are “the ones with wombs” and that he’s morphing into “Vicky Gervais.”

Gervais defended the program, saying He wanted to “take audiences to a place they’ve never been before.” He told BBC One’s ‘The One Show’: “I think that’s what comedy is really for – to get us through stuff and I delve into taboo subjects because I want to take the audience to a place where it’s never been a split second before.”

A Bristol Beacon spokesman said: “The creator and star of ‘The Office’, ‘Extras’, ‘Derek’ and the critically acclaimed hit ‘After Life’ (Netflix), Ricky Gervais, has won countless awards According to Life, which was released on Netflix in March 2019, Ricky has since written and completed filming on a second series that will hit Netflix in 2020. His hit series The Office is the highest-grossing British comedy of all time, shown in more than 90 countries with seven remakes.”
