Ricky Gervais: Mortality

Ricky Gervais: Mortality (2025) is a one-hour stand-up special from the British comedian — watch online on iFILM, directed by John L. Spencer.

Gervais takes the stage with one subject: life, death and the state of things in between. Nothing is off the table — including himself. He treats his own mortality with neither sentiment nor dread, which is exactly what makes it funny rather than bleak.

Gervais has always worked past the point where most comedians stop. The creator of The Office and Derek has a specific skill: find the most uncomfortable angle and hold it steady until the audience catches up. Mortality is for viewers who want stand-up that makes them think as much as it makes them laugh. Stream Ricky Gervais: Mortality (2025) online on iFILM.
