Peter Kay to make HUGE comeback tour next year – six years after cancelling for ‘personal reasons’
COMEDY hero Peter Kay is making a comeback with a huge arena tour — six years after cancelling live gigs.
He has put together a new stage show which he will perform next year at top venues.
It will be the first time in 14 years that Bolton-born Peter, 48, famed for hit TV shows Car Share, Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy, has performed a live stand-up gig.
Organisers are confident the tour, including London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s AO Arena, will be a sell-out.
A source said: “He has lined up huge venues across the country including in Manchester, London and Birmingham and is hoping to announce it in September.”
The source added: “Peter has not performed a live stand-up set on a big stage in well over a decade now but he could not be more ready to get back out there.”

In 2018 Peter cancelled an upcoming sell-out 100 gig nationwide tour.
At the time he said: “Due to unforeseen family circumstances I deeply regret I am having to cancel all of my upcoming work projects.
“My sincerest apologies.
“This decision has not been taken lightly and I’m sure you’ll understand my family must always come first.”
