Comedian Ricky Gervais has announced a substantial donation of almost £2.5 million to a range of animal welfare organisations, generated from the proceeds of his recent “Mortality” stand-up tour.
The 64-year-old entertainer has distributed £2.43 million among 22 charities, including prominent groups such as the PDSA, International Animal Rescue, Celia Hammond Animal Trust, and Animals Asia. These funds were raised from the additional profits garnered through platinum seating sales during his tour, which ran from 2024 to 2025.
