Opening up about touring for the first time in 12 years, Peter said: "Audiences in London have always been amongst the best in Britain, plus I think seeing the show could be part of a nice weekend away treat.

"It’s good to get back to what I love doing best, stand-up comedy and if there’s ever a time people need a laugh it’s now”

Tickets will start at £35, which is the same price they were back in 2010 to help with the cost-of-living crisis.

"I'm doing this tour and literally two weeks after all the gas prices went up and petrol. I thought you've got to do something. I said why don't we do them at the same price,” he said.

"You've got to meet people halfway. It's why people need a laugh. That's why I was on the news. It's something happy for once. Not doom and gloom."
