Full details below.

BUY TICKETS: Tickets go on sale Sunday, November 30, at 10am via official ticket outlets - including www.gigsandtours.com.

Fans are being urged to book early and back what is set to be one of the biggest fundraising efforts ever seen on a British comedy tour.

The dates will round off what has become one of the most successful comedy tours in British history.

He already holds a world first as the only artist to perform a monthly residency at London’s The O2, which began in 2022.

But as he prepares to take this tour’s final bow on the arena circuit, the Bolton funnyman is turning the spotlight firmly on a cause close to millions.

Profits from the shows will support:

Children With Cancer UK; Teenage Cancer Trust; Kidney Cancer UK; Blood Cancer UK; Bowel Cancer UK; Prostate Cancer UK; DKMS; Ovarian Cancer Action; Pancreatic Cancer UK; Anthony Nolan; The Brain Tumour Charity; and Breast Cancer UK.

Reflecting on the decision, Kay said: “It’s been the greatest privilege of my life to perform for audiences up and down the country.

“I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the support over the years, and it feels right to give something back. Every single penny of profit from these final shows will go to help fight cancer and support those affected.

“Unfortunately, just about everyone knows someone who’s been affected by one of the cancers on that list. I really hope people can get behind this — come out, have a great night, share a few laughs, and do something good for charity at the same time. It’s a win–win.

“You don’t even have to like me — raising money for these 12 charities goes far beyond that. Together, we really can make a difference.”
