Our guide tells you everything you need to know to beat the crowds and bag a ticket.<\/p>\n<p>The star of The Office, Derek and Extras returned to the spotlight with another season of his dark tragi-comedy After Life earlier this year. He writes and stars in the show, an eye-openingly dark series which shows local journalist Tony Johnson trying to cope in the wake of his wife\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>After pulling back from the brink of his own crisis, Tony decides to do and say whatever he wants without worrying about other people\u2019s feelings. It\u2019s a sort of coping mechanism that mirrors Gervais\u2019s own out-spoken stand-up style and creates the conditions for some fantastically comic moments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/ticketmaster-uk.tm7559.net\/c\/1236178\/431519\/7559?subId1=radiotimes-0&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.co.uk%2Fricky-gervais-tickets%2Fartist%2F1114794&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Buy Ricky Gervais Armageddon tour tickets at Ticketmaster<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of After Life, or Gervais\u2019s older work, then the Armageddon tour represents an amazing chance to see him live and in the flesh.
