There are few stars who could announce 110 arena shows across the UK and near sell most of them out within hours. But then there are few stars quite like Peter Kay.
The Bolton comedy legend will start his mammoth three-year tour right here on home turf in Manchester on Friday night at the AO Arena, swiftly followed by Saturday night at the venue too. It will bring together thousands of comedy fans to witness the Phoenix Nights funnyman's full return to stand-up comedy for the first new tour in 12 years.
Naturally, when the tour was announced, it sent fans into a frenzy. Not least in the rather surprise fashion it came with Peter making an appearance in the adverts of I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here on ITV.
