Peter Kay 2023 tour: How to get Leeds tickets including presale, see full list of dates

For the first time in over a decade, Peter Kay has announced a long-awaited UK and Ireland stand-up ‘Better Late Than Never’ tour for next year, including two shows in Leeds. The comedian revealed the news with a surprise advertisement during the premiere of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2022 on Sunday night (November 6).

The tour will kick off on December 2 at the Manchester AO Arena and will stop in Birmingham, Liverpool, and Dublin before wrapping up in August 2023 at the Sheffield Utilita Arena. His last tour kicked off in 2010, when he set the Guinness World Record for the highest-selling comedy tour of all time.

The northern comic also wants to keep ticket costs as cheap as possible in order to help struggling fans with the cost-of-living crisis. Announcing the news, he said: “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. And with the cost of living at an all-time high, ticket prices are starting from £35. The same price they were on my previous tour in 2010.”

In 2017, the 49-year-old took a break from the spotlight and cancelled his nationwide tour, citing family circumstances.  Since then, he has gradually returned to public life with a series of surprise performances and charity events, most notably the Dance For Life show in Liverpool in August for Cancer Research.
