About the show
Gervais will tour his new show, titled ‘Legend’, from autumn 2026 through to the end of 2027, when it will be filmed and become his fifth in a string of globally successful Netflix specials.
Gervais’ four previous tours Humanity, Supernature, Armageddon and Mortality all broke box office records and topped the Netflix charts upon release. Armageddon and Mortality both won Ricky a Golden Globe for ‘Stand-Up Comedy on Television’, in 2024 and 2026 respectively.
"This is my most personal show so far and because both cancel culture, and most people I knew growing up, are dead, I can really say what the f*ck I want now,” Gervais said.
Gervais will once more be donating a portion of the proceeds from the tour’s ticket sales to charity - £2.43 million was donated to worldwide animal charities at the end of his Mortality tour in 2025.
