Multi-award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais is bringing his new live show Legend to Sheffield’s Utilita Arena this winter – with Netflix snapping up the rights to stream his tour before it’s even started.
Tickets are now on sale for Ricky’s tour which visits Sheffield’s showpiece venue on December 3, 2026.
Ricky said: “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 I want now.”
His four previous tours – Humanity, Supernature, Armageddon and Mortality – 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.
Netflix has purchased ‘Legend’ for an undisclosed amount but Ricky added: “I’m not saying how much they’re paying me this time, but I can say it’s my favourite deal so far.”
Ricky 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.
The comedian has enjoyed huge critical success for three series of After Life. His hit series The Office is the most successful British comedy of all time, shown in more than 90 countries, with 14 remakes.
Tickets for his Legends tour will be available from www.livenationentertainment.com.
Parking at Sheffield Utilita Arena costs £18.50. Alternative travel arrangements include Supertram, Park & Ride, bus or taxi.
