Peter Kay announces monthly London O2 Arena residency for stand-up comeback
Peter Kay has announced an almost year-long residency at the O2 Arena in London. Here are the details.
Peter Kay has announced he will perform a monthly residency at London's iconic O2 Arena. This news follows hot on the heels of his comeback tour announcement earlier this week.
The tour represents Peter Kay's return to the spotlight after 12 years away from stand-up comedy. In that time, he's won awards for Peter Kay's Car Share — a sitcom which he wrote and starred in — but not performed the sort of live stand-up that made his name. Now, he's set to become the first comedian ever to have a residency at the O2 Arena.
The well-loved Bolton funny-man is set to appear at the famous venue once a month for 11 months, beginning on December 16th.
A long-running residency at the O2 is a tough gig though, as he joked to the BBC: "There's basically been me and Prince who have done it and look what happened to him".
He added: "No matter who you are, if you're not funny they won't laugh," he said. "I've done a few - people keep calling them secret gigs but they're not secret... I over-analyse it all… but anyway, they've been going well."
