Peter Kay tour: comedian back on tour in 2018 after eight years off

Comedy legend and actor Peter Kay has delighted fans by announcing a UK stand up tour for 2018 – his first stage shows for eight years. Since his last tour, he has been busy acting, writing, directing and producing, with his most notable show being Peter Kay's Car Share.

The Lancashire comic, who holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest-selling comedy tour of all time after playing to 1.2 million people in 2010, will play 26 shows across the UK and Ireland from April 2018 through to March 2019, including dates in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, and London.

The Phoenix Nights star said: "I really miss it. I know how lucky I am to be making television series and have really loved these past few years working on Car Share but I miss doing stand-up."
