So many people want to see Ricky Gervais do his thing in person that he became a Guinness World Record Holder because of them.
The comedian made this year’s book for the Highest Gross for a Single Stand-Up Performance. He earned that title when he sold out the Hollywood Bowl on May 6, 2023, and made $1,790,206.50 for the one-night stand.
Gervais said, “As if packing out The Hollywood Bowl wasn’t enough, now Guinness World Records wants to put me in their big book. What a year!”
His Armageddon tour is still going strong. If you missed his record-breaking performance or any of the other shows, don’t worry. Netflix will air his comedy special when the tour concludes.
UPDATE: Ricky Gervais wrote his comment on social media, “When I was little, I’d get the The Guinness Book of Records for xmas every year. The whole family would read it. I think my mum would be prouder of me being in this book than anything else I’ve done ❤️”
Moms, gotta love what impresses them.
