STV NewsPeter Kay has announced his first stand-up tour in 12 years with tickets going on sale this week.
The comedian, 49, will perform at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro next year as part of a ten-date UK run beginning in December.
Kay cancelled his last scheduled tour in 2017 at short notice due to “unforeseen family circumstances”.
He has appeared at a number of charity gigs but has otherwise largely remained out of the spotlight.
His comeback was announced during an advertisement break in the series launch of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on ITV.
His statement read: “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.”
Kay’s 2010 tour broke a Guinness World Record for the biggest selling run of all time, playing to more than 1.2 million people.
Where is he performing in Scotland?
He will perform at Glasgow’s Hydro on Friday, May 5 and Saturday, May 6.
