Peter Kay to play in Dublin as comedy legend announces huge comeback tour

Peter Kay has announced a full UK and Ireland tour - with the comedy legend performing on tour for the first time in 12 years

The Bolton star made the announcement on Sunday evening and is set to perform 22 shows over the coming months.

And there's great news for his Irish fans, because he'll be stopping off here as part of it.

The tour will kick off at Manchester's AO Arena on December 2 and 3.

Kay will be performing in Dublin's 3Arena on April 6 and April 7, 2023.

He sparked headlines back in 2017 when he cancelled a 14-month tour at short notice due to "unforeseen family circumstances".

He has largely been away from the public eye since then, but has now made a glorious return to the comedy circuit.

Kay's last tour in 2010 gained the Guinness World Record for the biggest-selling run of all time - playing to a total of 1.2 million people.

Naturally, his announcement came during an ad break in last night's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

Kay said: "It's good to get back to what I love doing best, stand-up comedy, and if there's ever a time people need a laugh it's now.

"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."

Tickets go on sale online on Friday morning.
