And now for the Science bit... Ricky returns

APOLLO RETURN: Gervais

ANIMALS, Politics, Fame and now Science. After a whirlwind two years, Ricky Gervais will return to the stand-up circuit this winter.

Last here to the play two humungous shows at the M.E.N. Arena in June 2007 as part of his Fame tour, the Reading-born star returns home following a number of Stateside firsts.

First hit Hollywood lead role? Check – Ghost Town. First sell-out nights at prestigious American theatres? Check – Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre and New York’s Madison Square Garden. First book converted into a Big Screen flick? Check – Flanimals.

It’s wonder he had time to pen his new show Science at all.

Arriving at the Apollo for two dates (November 11/12), tickets are priced £30, call 08444 777 677.
