Over the weekend, Peter Kay announced his return to live comedy with details of his 2022-2023 tour. And earlier this week, he extended this series of live dates by announcing accommodation at London’s O2 Arena that will run for 12 consecutive months. The star has been very open about his long-awaited return to the stage, but has also revealed that he’s cutting costs for his dedicated fans.
Kai’s shows were already expected to sell out before the ticket price was announced.
While revealing his new shows and residency slot, he revealed that tickets will start at the deal price of £35.
He commented: “It’s nice to be back in what I love best, which is stand-up comedy, and if there was ever a time when people needed to laugh it was now. With an all-time high cost of living, ticket prices started from £35.”
The 49-year-old comedian explained that this is the same price he sold return tickets for on his last tour in 2010.
With the cost of living constantly rising, Peter assures fans that they will be able to attend his shows, regardless of wealth.
2010 was the last time Peter took to the stage for fans. He toured the UK for weeks and broke a Guinness World Record for the number of tickets he sold in that time.
He played with over 1.2 million people in the UK, cementing him as one of the best-loved comedies in the country.
The tour is still officially rated as the best-selling comedy tour of all time.

Now, Peter is shocked to see the reaction to his return.
He told Zoe Ball, “I can’t get over it. I thought we should call this tour Peter Who. I haven’t been around for five years. I thought I’d be in the news when I didn’t die when I was going on tour. I couldn’t get over it, I was lying in bed with Susan.”
“I had a show on Sunday night,” he said. “Hugh Edwards was talking about me in the news. I was such a silly. I thought it was going to be a slow news day, right. I couldn’t believe I was in the main news on TV.” (sic)
The groundbreaking tour and residence slot kicks off in just a few weeks, with the star hitting the stage on December 2, 2022 in Manchester.
