Peter Kay to perform at Leeds First Direct Arena: Everything you need to know including door times & tickets

Peter Kay is set to take to the stage at Leeds this week for part of his Better Late Than Never tour. The British comedian has returned to stand-up comedy after a 12-year break and will perform at Leeds First Direct Arena on Friday (May 19).

When the tour was announced, Peter Kay 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"

The tour comes after the comic from Bolton announced he was taking a break from the spotlight in 2017 and cancelled his nationwide tour. 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.

Peter Kay also announced in March that he has written a book - called Big Adventures on the Small Screen about his life during his career hiatus. The book is available to pre-order via his official website.

We have rounded-up everything you need to know about his performance in Leeds.
