Loved the whole show.. only downside it was too short! Brilliant as always
Nice venue which was run great by all the staff. Ricky Gervaise was so on form! Best comedian we've seen by far! Totally our kind of humour!! 𤣠We were in stitches the whole show! Great evening, highly recommend the venue and especially the man himself! Ricky!!
Would pay to see him again and nice to see rather than flogging merchandise an animal charity was there. very well organised and can only assume the venue opened early due to the freezing wet weather
Ricky is just amazing we laughed all the way through it but disappointing that he was only on for an hour as we travelled to see him
Always been a huge fan, finally got to see him last night and I was absolutely blown away. I was crying with laughter he really cracked me up.
Ricky gives a master class in comedy. People can only judge by actually watching Ricky live. He takes very relevant subjects and offers his judgement in a black but hilarious way...
Had a wonderful night seeing Ricky Gervais, he was just so funny and laughed all the way through until the end of the concert. Will definitely see him again in the future when he comes back to Nottingham.
I've wanted to see Ricky Gervais for ages but never been able to get tickets until my brother managed to get two tickets a few days before for Brighton that must've been resale tickets, I couldn't believe it, it was written in the stars I'd get to see one of my favourite comedians! We had balcony seats that were centre to the stage so had a really good view, again written in the stars! I really enjoyed Sean McLoughlin (aka Lionel Messi), it must be so nerve-racking being a warm up act to such a big name and I absolutely loved Ricky Gervais, even his giggling is funny. Mortality is full of naughty words, cross the line jokes and taboo subjects so if you're easily offended, this show may not be for you but if you're not, you won't be disappointed.
Absolutely hilarious show. sean mcloughlin, the opening act was brilliant and had me in stitches from start to finish, definitely a new talent to keep an eye out for! Ricky's show was bloody brilliant, his jokes were genius and multi levelled and I didn't stop laughing the whole evening. I felt guilty about laughing at some of the jokes but the hat do you expect from the controversial master! Wish I could watch both their sets again tonight!
