A COMEDY legend has added a host of extra Scottish shows after a huge demand for tickets for his UK tour.
Peter Kay’s new tour sent fans into a frenzy this month after they failed to get tickets for his record-breaking comedy tour.
The Car Share and Phoenix Nights star, 51, started his Peter Kay Live tour back in December 2022 with a show in Manchester.
And tonight he announced extra dates with a surprise TV ad in the first episode of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here tonight.
In the advert, Peter carries a gold toilet to his mum’s iconic bungalow and reveals the new shows for 2025 and 2026.
It comes after there was an overwhelming demand for Peter’s return to stand-up comedy.
A total of 16 new dates across the country were added which will see the comedian perform in iconic stadiums across the country.
The extra shows will see him perform in P&J Live in Aberdeen and the OVO Hydro in Glasgow in 2025.
He will take to the stage in Aberdeen for the first time on Friday, May 30, and Saturday, May 31.
While fans in Glasgow can get tickets for his show on Thursday, October 23.
He will also perform in other locations such as Brighton Centre, Bournemouth International Centre and Isle of Man Villa Marina.
Most of the new dates will span over 2025, however, six will take place in 2026.
Those on Three Mobile will be able to access presale tickets when they go on sale at 10am on Thursday, November 21.
General sale tickets go on sale the following Saturday at 10am.
Prices for the new dates will start at around £35 per ticket.
