Peter Kay has revealed he will be performing at the O2 in London every month until November 2023.

Peter Kay fans rejoice because the comedian has announced he’s doing a monthly residency at the O2 as part of his huge comeback tour.

The 49-year-old is the first artist ever to do a monthly residency at the London arena.

Peter will be performing every month for a whole year, with his first date being Friday 16th December.

He will then do shows on 21st January, 18th February, 22nd March and 22nd April, with it running each month until Saturday 18th November 2023.

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."
