Peter Kay adds more dates to sold-out 2023 UK tour
Peter Kay has announced additional dates for his UK tour – find all the details on how to secure tickets below.
The comedian, who has largely been on a hiatus from public appearances after cancelling his last UK tour in December 2017 due to “unforeseen family circumstances”, initially announced his return on November 6 with an advert during ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
His comeback tour kicked off with two dates in Manchester from December 2, 2022 and continues throughout 2024 and 2025.
“It’s good to be back to what I love doing best, stand-up comedy and if there’s ever a time people need a laugh it’s now,” Kay said. “And with the cost of living at an all-time high, ticket prices are starting from £35. The same price they were on my previous tour in 2010.”
