The comedy icon and creator/star of After Life returns to the stage with his latest Netflix stand-up special, SuperNature-which shouldn't be taken too literally.
Ricky Gervais

REAL QUICK

One wish?

An animal sanctuary.

Money or fame?

Money is real. Fame is what again? Random people waving at you?

If God exists...

He's doing a horrible fucking job.

Epitaph?

He had a laugh, then found a lump.

SuperNature sounds even more ambitious than 2018's Humanity, which began with you telling your audience I prefer animals. Can we assume the new title is ironic, you'll be in a stained black T-shirt and drinking beer out of a can again?

And very likely wearing bad jeans. I don't believe anything is “supernatural.” If something exists, it's natural and explainable-if not now, then eventually. I do explain irony at the start of SuperNature. I say, “That was irony. There'll be more of it in the show. See if you can spot it.

What draws you back to stand-up between your series work?
