Peter Kay fans have ended up crashing his website after the comedian announced his first stand-up tour in 12 years.
The Car Share star’s last tour, The Tour That Doesn’t Tour Tour…Now On Tour, was a resounding success and even made it in the Guinness World Record for the biggest-selling run of all time – playing to a total of 1.2 million people.
Kay made headlines in 2017 when he was set to tour, as he cancelled due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’. This led to speculation surrounding his health.
The Bolton funnyman has largely kept himself out of the public eye during this time, with only a few sporadic appearances at charity events.
