Comedian Ricky Gervais will return to Ipswich in January with his new show, Mortality. Tickets for the performance at the Regent Theatre will go on sale tomorrow and are expected to sell out quickly.

The big picture: Award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais, creator of hit shows like The Office and After Life, is set to perform in Ipswich as part of his latest tour.

This marks Gervais' return to Ipswich following his Armageddon tour in November 2022, giving local fans another chance to see the acclaimed comedian live.

The show is scheduled for Tuesday, 14 January 2025 at 7:30pm at the Ipswich Regent Theatre.
Tickets priced at £41.25 plus a £1.70 restoration levy go on sale Friday at 10am.
There's a limit of 6 tickets per person, and household.

What they're saying: "We're all gonna die. May as well have a laugh about it. Mortality looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on," Gervais said about the new show.

How to buy tickets:

Local law firm Ellisons is backing Ipswich Sports Club to help make sport accessible to all, including schools, disabled individuals and disadvantaged community members.

Why it matters: Without sponsorship support, the Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) would struggle to maintain its current level of access, facilities and programmes for the local community.

In their words: "The support from Ellisons, alongside our other sponsors, is absolutely invaluable. Without their generosity, we simply wouldn't be able to offer the same level of access, facilities and programmes," said Andy Isles, Chairman of Ipswich Sports Club .

The bigger picture: Ipswich Sports Club has established itself as a cornerstone of local sport, offering various activities and developing talent from grassroots to professional levels.

The club has produced elite athletes and regularly hosts prestigious international tournaments.

What they're saying: "We're incredibly proud to sponsor a club with such a strong reputation for developing talent and attracting international tournaments," said Guy Longhurst , Managing Partner at Ellisons .

"Sport has a unique ability to unite communities, you only have to look at ITFC at the moment for proof of that, so it's crucial that organisations like Ipswich Sports Club continue to thrive," he added.

Longhurst also noted a personal benefit to the partnership: "I also love a game of Padel and see this as a great excuse to make use of the facilities myself!"

The bottom line: This partnership reflects the latest commitment from Ellisons to support community initiatives with lasting impact, after just last week announcing their partnership with Brighten the Corners, whilst ensuring the sports club can provide an inclusive environment for enthusiasts of all abilities.
