As his hit show After Life nears its finale, Ricky Gervais talks goodbyes, dogs and dark humour There are still tickets left to catch Gervais and the cast speak at ESStories Festival in association with Netflix on Sunday

Gervais is the master of mixing poignant lines like this with humour that goes daringly close to the bone. The first joke he wrote for After Life was about a child calling Tony ‘a paedo’. “I thought, one, you’re going to let him off that because you know his wife is dead, two, it is a funny, terrible thing to say.”
