Peter Kay tour dates: how to get tickets to 2023 UK tour as comedian adds more dates after selling out

Peter Kay is returning to the stage after taking a prolonged break from performing back in 2017 when he cancelled a 100-show tour due to unforseen family circumstances. The reason for Kay’s sudden cancellation was never revealed, but last month he announced a major comeback tour and it’s clear that the comedian is just as popular as ever.

Kay, 49. who is known for his comedy shows Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere, both with Paddy McGuinness, launched a raft of standup shows as part of his 2023 UK-wide comeback tour. Tickets for his first standup tour in over a decade sold out fast, and on Thursday (8 December) more dates were added, but they too sold out in minutes.

It should come as no surprise, as Kay’s last tour, in 2010, holds the Guinness world record for the biggest-selling comedy tour of all time - he performed to a total audience of 1.2 million. 11 more dates for his Peter Kay Live: Better Late Than Never tour, running into 2025, were added today (Sunday 11 December) so that as many fans as possible could have the opportunity to see the comic perform.
