The comedian gets emotional on stage in Manchester as he opens his first tour for 12 years.
Peter Kay played the first of 42 nights at the Manchester Arena to kick off his 110-date tourComedian Peter Kay was moved to tears as he was given a standing ovation at the start of his first tour for 12 years.He had to compose himself before telling fans: "How am I supposed to do comedy now? You'll have me in bits... I can't believe you made me cry."
Olivia Matthews, also 23, added: "There's nothing too serious. Everything's light-hearted. That's what we like about him. "He's genuine," added Deborah Evitt, 56, from Manchester. "He's a genuine person. You could tell what he did on that stage, he did from the heart. That's why I enjoyed it."His down-to-earth, cheeky stand-up style and everyday subject matter haven't changed much.
But while he's still ridiculing his befuddled elders, Kay is now also trying to get his head around the habits of his own children, with their reliance on devices and online deliveries. This time, there were occasions where he sailed close to political incorrectness, although he was at pains to claim he wanted to steer clear of cancel culture territory.
The 49-year-old will play 41 more times at the Manchester venue, the biggest arena in the UK, culminating with his final scheduled tour date on 25 July 2025.
