A warning has been issued ahead of Ricky Gervais’ gig in Oxford tonight.

The comedian is taking his new Mortality tour around the UK and revealed last month that he would be coming to play a show at New Theatre on George Street.

A month later and the day of the show has rolled around with excitement rife amongst those who managed to get a ticket for the sold-out event.

With just a few hours before the gig, a warning has been issued by New Theatre to those attending the comedy gig.

“For all guests attending Ricky Gervais's SOLD-OUT performances tonight and tomorrow, please be advised: latecomers will not be admitted into the auditorium,” read the message on X, formerly Twitter.

“We kindly ask all ticket holders to arrive promptly!”

Ricky Gervais reposted the message on his own X account, sharing the warning to his 14,000,000 followers.

The show begins tonight (Tuesday, October 29) at 7.30pm.
