Comedian Ricky Gervais may be in town to entertain his fans, but he may also be Vancouver's biggest fan.

January 29 and 30 mark the last two days of Gervais' year-long "Humanity" tour, and it's probably no accident he is wrapping up a gruelling run on the road in one of his favourite places.
"Ending the North American leg of my #Humanity tour in beautiful #Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»this week. Have I saved the best till last?" he Tweeted Sunday, departing from Seattle.
Ending the North American leg of my tour in beautiful this week. Have I saved the best till last?

While most of us may jump to say, "Yes, obviously!" to Gervais' rhetorical question, the British comedian may already agree with us. If we flash back to February 2014, Gervais took to social media to show that he was enjoying a working visit to Vancouver,
Spent the morning on wonderful Granville Island, Vancouver. Stopped to have my photo taken with a huge fan too.

Then, in late September 2014, when Gervais was in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to film “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" he turned to Twitter again to profess his love for the city.
I love Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»

Happy to report that Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is still beautiful

Gervais has covered a lot of ground--geographically, never mind his stand-up show--in the last few months, which means he has been smitten with other cities. Most recently it was San Francisco, : "I may have a new favourite city." GASP! No!
Vancouver, let's make sure we win Gervais back.
So, dear Mr. Gervais: Welcome back to Vancouver! Remember, we are very ...and chill.
Ah, so this is why Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is so chilled out

Oh, and some good news if you don't have tickets to Gervais' "Humanity" at the Queen Elizabeth Monday or Tuesday: Netflix has just announced they will starting in March.
