Detail: After selling out twenty record-breaking nights at the Manchester Arena (a record previously held by Take That) and with a phenomenal demand for tickets Peter Kay was left with no choice but to tour. Tickets went on sale December 4th from 11.00am at eight different UK Arena’s - by 2.00pm over 400,000 seats had been sold. Combined with the 200,000 previously sold in Manchester, Kay is now officially the biggest and fastest selling live comedy act of all time.
Kay said “I couldn’t comprehend the demand in Manchester but this is amazing, I’m completely overwhelmed. I’m going to give people a crackin’ night, mind you saying that I better get my head down and write some jokes” quipped the Bolton funnyman.
Kay, who is currently number one in the charts for a second week with his Animated All Star Band in aid of Children In Need, has smashed his own record for the biggest selling stand-up, which he previously held for his Mum Wants A Bungalow Tour. This is the first time he has returned to stand-up comedy in seven years. He still holds the record for the biggest selling stand-up DVD and autobiography of all time.
He will be gracing the stage of The O2 in April/May 2011 for a stunning four nights which will no doubt be a sell out! He will perform Live at The O2 on the 28th, 29th and 30th of April along with a performance on the first of May 2011. Tickets are on sale now through ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.
