Ricky Gervais has announced he is bringing his brand new stand-up tour SuperNature to Cardiff .
The stand-up comedian, TV and film star revealed he would be returning to Wales and performing in the capital before he begins filming and editing the second series of his hit Netflix show After Life.
SuperNature will be the 57-year-old's sixth stand up comedy show, following on from his Animals, Politics, Fame, Science and Humanity tours.

He followed it up with the following: "Tickets for my first few SuperNature dates will go on sale next Friday at 10am. Oxford, Manchester, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Cardiff."
