PETER Kay has announced his first stand-up comedy tour in eight years.
The Bolton-born comedian will head out on the road next year and will play Manchester Arena for four nights.
Peter said: "I really miss it. I know how lucky I am to be making television series and have really loved these past few years working on Car Share but I miss doing stand-up.
"As terrifying as it is, when it works there's nothing more fun and exciting. Plus, a lot has happened in the last eight years, with Trump, Twitter and my Nan getting her front bush trimmed at the age of 96. I can't wait to get back up on stage."
The tour starts in April in Birmingham and visits all major UK and Ireland arenas right through to 2019.
He will play Manchester Arena on Monday, June 4, Tuesday, June 5, Wednesday, June 6 and Saturday, June 9.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Sunday, November 19 from www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk. Tickets are limited to persons 15 years old or over.
