PETER Kay is set to make his return to stand-up with his first live tour for 12 years.
Two dates in Scotland have been announced on May 5 and May 6 2023 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
Tickets are set to go on sale on Saturday November 12 at 10am.
Kay has been largely absent from the public eye for the last four years. The tour will mark his first since 2010 when he broke a Guinness World Record for the biggest selling run of all time, playing to more than 1.2 million people.

His comeback was announced during an advertisement break in the series launch of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on ITV.
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.”
Kay also confirmed that with the cost-of-living at an “all-time high”, ticket prices will start from £35 – the same they were on his last tour over a decade ago.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
