He is known for his controversial and boundary-pushing comedy.And now, Ricky Gervais is planning his most controversial stand-up tour ever.His new show, Legend, is set to go around the world before being streamed on Netflix as part of a big-money deal.The comedian is set to make gags about a raft of shocking taboo topics, including Jimmy Savile, suicide, and Hitler.Gervais tested the new material at a special gig in London on Monday night.Joking about Savile’s depraved acts, Gervais told the crowd at Leicester Square Theatre: ‘He raped disabled children in comas. Then he died, and then we found out. People are angry, saying, “He didn’t see justice. He had a great life, and he got away with it”. Did he, though? Is that a great life?‘If someone said to me, “Just f*** these disabled kids,” I’d go “Eugh”. So, in a way, I’m worse than him because at least he gave them a chance.’ Ricky Gervais is planning his most controversial stand-up tour ever as comedian is set to make gags about taboo topics including Jimmy Savile, suicide and HitlerHe added, ‘That is the worst thing I have ever said. That is the worst thing I’ve ever said.’Moving on to joke that Hitler did some good things before the Holocaust, Gervais said: ‘I’m not defending him, but he did do some good stuff. Adolf’s early work… he sorted out the transport system, he invented the people car.’As the crowd went quiet, he added: ‘All I’m saying is, whatever you think of this joke, remember I wrote The Office.’He later said his nieces and nephews use the N-word, and he tells them, ‘Go to bed, you f***ing N-word.’Moving on to say how he could convince internet trolls to kill themselves, Gervais continued: ‘I look at their profiles, and I think, “I could probably get them to commit suicide because they’re going to do it soon anyway, let me be a part of it, you little f***ing freak. Kill yourself, you little c***. I never would do that, but I’m thinking it.”’He added that he would ask friends to help him die if he were paralysed, and joked he wishes he had a gun in his home for when he’s old.Gervais previously insisted he will never be cancelled, and free speech is ‘the most important human right there is’.He said: ‘It has been weird for the last ten years as a comedian, going “will that get me cancelled? Can I say that? Is that okay now? Oh God, things are changing, that thing I said a year ago will that be?” His new show, Legend, is set to go around the world before being streamed on Netflix as part of a big-money deal’And now we are coming out of that because I think they pushed too hard, and now people are over it. They complained about things that didn’t deserve being complained about.’Gervais added: ‘Free speech is the most important human right there is, and it is the right for which all other rights come. Without free speech, you can’t have human rights, and people shut you up because they don’t like what you are saying, and that is always suspicious.’The comedian will tour Ricky Gervais: Legend from September 2026 until the end of 2027.‘The new tour is called Legend… just to annoy people, really. Just so they go, “Ooh, who does he think he is? He’s changed”. I don’t think I have changed. I still feel working-class. I know I’m not. I live in a big house. But I want people to know where I came from,’ he added.Netflix have purchased Legend for an undisclosed amount, but Gervais said: ‘I’m not saying how much they’re paying me this time, but I can say it’s my favourite deal so far.’The comedian’s four previous tours – Humanity, SuperNature, Armageddon, and Mortality – all broke box office records and topped the Netflix charts upon release.
