Comedian Peter Kay played his first stand-up live show in Manchester's AO Arena on Friday night, and was praised by a reviewer for a "triumphant" and five star return. It was the first of his sell-out 110 date tour across the UK and a Manchester Evening News reporter said "it was like he'd never been away."
Dianne Bourne said the evening started off with crowds chanting his name, adding that it was clear the roaring warmth of the home crowd in Manchester really touched the comedian. Peter Kay said: "Lovely Manchester you made me cry," as he was welcomed on stage.
Dianne continued: " Wiping away those tears though, the rest of the night was firmly about making his fans laugh - and laugh and laugh they did. This show really did have it all - for the die-hards there was the knowing laughs to famous quips from years gone by. For those who have never seen him live before there were his hilarious musings on modern life.
