Does Ricky Gervais have an opening act when he does his stand-up sets?

My girlfriend was awesome enough to have bought me tickets to see Ricky Gervais on one of the two nights that he's going to be doing his new stand-up set in Los Angeles this summer. Unfortunately, we had already booked a flight to the east coast for that same night, scheduled to leave at 11:55PM.

His show is listed as starting at 7:30, and I'm assuming that the fun likely won't be starting until at least 8 - but does anyone know if he has an opening act before he comes on? I've been scouring Google and can't seem to find an answer.

Worst case, I'll just rebook my flight for the next morning.

He did in the UK, for about 20 minutes. His show was about 80-90.

Forgot to add, probably a 20 minute interval as well, but that may be unique to the venue.

On previous British tours he's been supported by Robin Ince.

Why don't you call the Kodak Theatre and find out?
