Ricky Gervais is making a return to his roots in London this May, having just announced that he will be performing some stand up shows.

The comedian is returning to the stage for the first time in six years, as he revealed on his official blog.

“Finally, I'm going to do some stand-up. The first in about six years if you don't count hosting the Golden Globes. I've booked a couple of low key warm-ups with the Derek lot to flesh out the bill a bit. The shows will be in London in May, but I'll give you more details nearer the time.”

This announcement featured alongside the build-up to his Netflix original film, Special Correspondents, with Eric Bana, which will appear on Netflix on April 22.

Gervais is currently promoting his David Brent: Life on the Road mockumentary, which sees Gervais return to his popular character from The Office.
