Renowned comedian Ricky Gervais has once again demonstrated his commitment to animal welfare by donating £1.9 million to various animal charities worldwide. The generous contribution is derived from the proceeds of ticket sales from his recent Armageddon world tour, a tour that broke records with 85 sell-out arena dates across the globe throughout 2022 and 2023.
Gervais, celebrated for his stand-up performances and the creation of iconic television shows such as “After Life” and “The Office,” has chosen to distribute the funds equally among 11 prominent animal charities. These carefully selected organizations include All Dogs Matter, Animal SOS Sri Lanka, Catastrophes Cat Rescue, Chaldon Animal Sanctuary, Dogs On The Streets, Helping Rhinos, Millions of Friends, Mira Dogs, Paws2Rescue, PDSA, and Wild Futures.
