Ricky Gervais has announced a performance as part of his new Legend tour in Watford.

The stand-up, writer, and actor will appear at Watford Colosseum on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Netflix has reportedly already purchased Legend for an undisclosed fee, having previously carried his Humanity, SuperNature, Armageddon, and Mortality tours.

The Office star 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 the f*** I want now.”

The run of 2026 dates announced this morning will build up to visits to the UK, Europe, and North America’s biggest arenas in 2027. Those dates are yet to be announced.

Alongside the Watford show, Legend will also be performed at The Alban Arena in St Albans on September 14.

The full list of dates announced today is as follows:

  • G Live – Guildford, September 1
  • Corn Exchange – Cambridge, September 8
  • The Alban Arena – St Albans, September 14
  • O2 Apollo – Manchester, September 22
  • New Victoria Theatre – Woking, September 28
  • Anvil – Basingstoke, November 5
  • Utilita Arena – Birmingham, November 9
  • Brighton Centre – Brighton, November 16
  • Utilita Arena – Cardiff, November 23
