Comedian Peter Kay Announces Two Dates In Belfast

Comedian Peter Kay has announced he is coming to Belfast.

He will play at the SSE Arena on Sunday, 13 January, 2019 and Monday, 14 January, 2019.

This is his first tour in eight years.

Speaking about returning to stand-up he said: "I really miss it. I know how lucky I am to be making television series and have really loved these past few years working on Car Share but I miss doing stand-up. As terrifying as it is, when it works there's nothing more fun and exciting. Plus, a lot has happened in the last eight years, with Trump, Twitter and my Nan getting her front bush trimmed at the age of 96. I can't wait to get back up on stage."

Tickets go on general sale on Sunday, 19 November from Ticketmaster outlets and the SSE Arena Box Office.
