Peter Kay makes triumphant return to stage in Manchester to raise money for cancer charity

Peter Kay is certainly a man of many talents; a beloved comedian, as well as an award-winning writer and actor, but can he add superstar DJ to to his CV? Although his mixing may not be quite as slick Calvin Harris or David Guetta, Bolton’s favourite son had thousands in the palm of his hand as he made a joyous return to stage in Manchester.

During a three hour ‘dance-a-thon’ at Manchester Central, the national treasure treated the crowd to banger after banger from Abba to House of Pain and from the Urban Cookie Collective to S Club.

Kay started Dance for Life back in 2016 to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This particular event has been rescheduled from 2020 and marks one of the comedian’s first public appearances since being forced to cancel a huge tour in 2018 citing 'unforeseen family circumstances'.
