“Imagine sitting around playing records and talking absolute bollocks with your mates being considered work,” Gervais says in a statement. “Thank you SiriusXM. My ‘Humanity’ tour made me fall back in love with stand-up. I sold out the finest arenas around the world, so I can’t wait to play a college bar to a bunch of scroungers who got in for free.”

This time around, he’s got Jerry Seinfeld and various other comedians and pals lined up.
