Peter Kay extends record-breaking comedy tour with first shows in Aberdeen

Aberdeen’s biggest indoor arena has secured a multimillion-pound boost for the city after landing two nights with comedy giant Peter Kay.

One of Britain’s best loved comedians, Peter has announced extra dates for his record-breaking comedy tour with a surprise TV ad in the opening episode of “I’m Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”. The hilarious new advert sees Peter spotted as he carries a gold toilet to his mum’s iconic bungalow and reveals new shows for 2025 & 2026.

Overwhelming demand for Peter’s return to stand-up comedy has been phenomenal and fans will now have more opportunity to experience his incredible show live. Peter’s new dates will see him perform in some of the UK’s largest arenas and more intimate theatre event spaces. The new 2025 and 2026 shows include his first dates at Aberdeen’s P&J Live on 30^th & 31^st May 2025, as well as dates at Brighton Centre, Bournemouth International Centre and Isle of Man Villa Marina.

Peter’s tour, which started in Manchester, December 2022 has already broken records: remarkably he’s just completed his 100th show at the Manchester AO Arena breaking all attendance and performance records and, astonishingly, Peter is the first artist in the world to perform a monthly residency at The O2, London, performing 45 shows, the most played by any artist in the venue’s history. Peter’s new dates include two new weekend shows at The O2 in 2025 further adding to this incredible milestone.

Peter Kay said: “It’s been wonderful doing what I love most, stand-up comedy. Laughter is more important than ever in these challenging times and with the cost of living still at an all-time high, ticket prices for the new dates will start from £35*.”

Rob Wicks, Managing Director of P&J Live, said: “We are absolutely delighted to land two 2025 dates of Peter Kay’s live tour here in Aberdeen after a phenomenally successful run of shows across the UK over the past two years. This is a first chance for fans in the region to see him following a significant absence from stage, and we know that Aberdeen can give him the warm welcome he deserves at he steps foot in The Granite City.”

Three mobile customers can access presale tickets on Thursday 21^st November at 10am and tickets go on general on sale on Saturday 23^rd November at 10am on www.axs.com/uk
