Peter Kay brought to tears by crowds at first tour in 12 years

Peter Kay has been brought to tears tonight (Friday) by appreciative crowds on the opening night of his first tour in 12 years. The 49-year-old comic was greeted by applause and cheers at Manchester’s AO Arena and was seen wiping away tears.

The stage was set for the opening night of his first solo tour in 12 years, with 110 dates kicking off with a sell-out crowd on home turf for the Bolton funnyman. Peter will be taking his show around the UK this year and in 2023, 2024 and 2025 - with dates in London, Cardiff, Belfast, Liverpool, Birmingam, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield, Nottingham and Newcastle.

A ful list of tour dates can be found at the bottom of this article. On his long-awaited return in Manchester, Peter arrived in a spotlight silhouette akin to James Bond, before the curtain fell to huge cheers from the crowd.
