Peter Kay has announced a new stand-up tour.

His last tour in 2010, which still officially ranks with the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest selling comedy tour of all time, played to over 1.2 million people. 

Kay’s new tour will star start at the Birmingham Arena on April 21 2018 and ends on March 19, 2019 at the Liverpool Echo Arena.

Kay says: “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. As terrifying as it is, when it works there's nothing more fun and exciting. Plus, a lot has happened in the last eight years, with Trump, Twitter and my Nan getting her front bush trimmed at the age of 96. I can't wait to get back up on stage.” 

Tickets for the tour go on sale Sunday 19th November at 10am here.
