Peter Kay back in Bolton and delights fans with his homecoming gig

Playing to an audience restricted to those with a Bolton postcode and in aid of Bolton Hospice, he delighted the packed hall.

David Pye, who was one of the lucky ones to have got a ticket said: “It was so good to see Peter back where it all began in his home town to a crowd made up of fellow Boltonians – and he didn’t disappoint.

“After announcing it was his first time back performing at The Albert Halls for 22 years, the first half of his show had a distinctly local feel.

“For anyone who has seen his latest show on his record-breaking tour, the first part of this show was different and without wanted to spoil it for anyone going, it takes a trip down a local Memory Lane.

“I have seen Peter loads of times, from big arenas to intimate warm-up shows and conversation fundraisers and this was as funny as ever. Peter was on top form on home turf.”

And even The Bolton News and local gets a mention as part of the act!

Those with tickets can book a Phoenix Nights themed meal at The Albert beforehand.

The Albert Halls is a venue he last performed at in 2003, recording the iconic Peter Kay: Live at the Bolton Albert Halls, which to this day is the biggest-selling stand-up DVD of all time in the UK.

And for those who are going to see the comic, you will be in for a treat as no one other than Boltonians would really get it.

Last year he appeared with fellow Boltonian Sara Cox at The Lowry Theatre for an ‘in conversation with’ and that was again for Bolton Hospice and also The Crescent Foodbank.
