King of comedy Ricky Gervais has made Hollywood Bowl history and is thought to have bagged a jaw-dropping £1.41million at the Box Office for a single stand-up gig.
As part of his worldwide tour Armageddon, the show in Los Angeles on May 6 has been crowned the highest-grossing one-off gig ever by a British comedian.
Ricky, 61, wrote on Twitter about the sold out tour: “A career highlight. I should retire now. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket. #Armageddon."

He added: "To find out about this record is the icing on the cake. I was happy enough when it didn’t rain.”
Tweeting after the gig, he wrote: “Thank you Hollywood Bowl for one of the most surreal nights of my life. What a venue. What a crowd.
“I can’t even imagine what my mum would think about me playing the Hollywood Bowl.
"I hope she would be horrified by the language, tell me I looked fat, and be secretly proud.
“Wish I’d filmed it now... if only to remind myself it actually happened.”
Talking about his latest stand-up extravaganza, Ricky said previously: "The new show is going to be called Armageddon and it’s going to be about how I think humanity will end — whether we will evolve, go to another planet, or we destroy it with things at our disposal.
“People born this century are going to have a very different middle age to me.
“It’s my fault and the generation before me, the Boomers — with fossil fuels, deforestation, causing global warming, everything like that.
“So, 20-year-olds today, in 40 years’ time they’ll be - huddled in their houses like prisons, wearing masks, afraid, in pain, crying . . . like they do now over jokes.
"I am going to spend all of my money on private jets from now on, to make sure it definitely f***ing happens.”
