We saw Peter at the Arena in Newcastle last night, 22/8/25. I found him still really funny but the element of using swear words and being blue didn’t sit well with me. However, I would go again tonight if I could. The second encore was brilliant and well thought out. Thanks Peter 😂😂😂

Newcastle last night- bloody brilliant. Loved it !
Proper belly laughs.
Great start to the weekend

Peter Kay..laughed from the beginning all the way to the end.
This bloke is a comedy genius, after reading some of the reviews we were considering not going to see his show but we are so glad we did.
Thanks Peter

Just returned home from seeing PK at Newcastle and it was truly dreadful. In fact it was so dreadful we and quite a few others left at the half time interval. The old funny comedian is gone...replaced by an unfunny act that relies for almost a quarter of the show on trying to draw comedy from 60's and 70's tv adverts. Another big change from his previous persona is the vast overuse of foul language. I'm far from being a prude but I remember seeing him live where the use of such language hardly featured in his act...now its 'f' this and 'f' that every few minutes.

Watching his old live performances you could see the audience almost rolling in the aisles...tonight there was hardly a ripple.

Methinks it's time for him to retire gracefully while hes ahead (but only just)

Clinging to his good old days by a thread , poor

I was looking forward to this SSE concert but I was so disappointed and bored most of the time.I didn't pay to hear Peter Kay sing TV adverts and TV themes for about 30 minutes in total.I think I laughed twice all night.I can't understand anyone giving this a good review. If you have a ticket for a future gig my advice is sell it!

Agree with everything many others have said. After such a long time it was very disappointing. Very few funny anecdotes and too much singalong

So disappointing. After almost a 3 year wait, we were really looking forward to seeing Peter as he was definitely a favourite of ours. We don't remember him swearing as much in previous shows or being a little bit 'blue' but maybe that's a new direction for him and it isn't something that would put us off but he never needed to go that route before.

There were a few funny parts, but most of it seemed to just be filling time. After such a long wait for the show, it would have been great to experience material that is worthy of him.

The first bit was a little nostalgia, singing along to old tv ads, but where exactly was the comedy?
The encore also held no comedic value for us.

Disappointing and sad to say, we probably won't bother going to one of his shows again.

Has Peter lost his mojo?

One of my favourite comedians after Billy Connolly, Peter is a nice person, I got my ticket nearly 3 years ago after his original tours was cancelled, Friday the 8th Belfast very disappointing, similar to some others it was like a pantomime the first part audience singing to Old adverts, his material after was very dated and the punchline predictable, I left early at the interlude

What a wonderful evening. Peter can make you laugh at anything and it was wonderful to see him back xxx
I would go again tonight if I could

Saw Peter Kay at the SSE Arena in Belfast last night. I had never seen him live, but I’ve enjoyed most of what he’s done on TV. So with a massive sell-out audience, I was expecting a great evening.

Sadly, it wasn’t so. There was a lot of somewhat strange apparently ad-libbed audience interaction for the first half hour. This was based around signature tunes and advertising jingles from the 70s and 80s, and it descended into a holiday camp-like sing-a-long. Goodness knows what the younger members of the audience made of it. Even to this 60-something it felt very strange.

He then launched into his “act”, a series of loosely connected mildly amusing anecdotes. His vocabulary was a lot more blue than I remember from TV.

The second half began with (I think) a recording of Richard Burton narrating the opening lines of HG Wells “War of the Worlds”, and Peter then appeared, singing “Is this the way to Amarillo”. Weird.

There was then a somewhat cringe-worthy video tribute to his now deceased nan, and that was it. Except it wasn’t. We then had one rather boring encore based on his often repeated gag “misheard song lyrics”, which really should have been retired a long time ago.

And finally, there was a second encore. I won’t spoil it, suffice to say it gave new meaning to the word bizarre. It had me wondering what on Earth I was doing there, and immediately after that thought I began to plan an early exit to the car park.

Peter Kay does come across as a nice guy, but he desperately needs new material, and someone to give him some direction.

We went to see Peter Kay at the SSE Arena in Belfast. The experience was desperately disappointing and unfunny. He didn't seem to have prepared an act. It was full of old or boring material only suitable for Butlin's. And it relied on audience sing alongs as fillers. A shocking waste of time and money. Sell your ticket if you have one.

Went to see Peter kay at the 02 last sat. We were so disappointed. The mouse je made eating the sweets that 'dropped' onto his stage was disgusting. He started singing old commercials then also at the end he descended over the audience singing songs like scoobybdoo etc. Focusing too much on audience participation....we went to hear your jokes not stupid childish songs! A total waste of time and money! We were such fans but so much old material too.

My husband and I went to see Peter Kay at the AO. We’d had the tickets for two years and we were so excited to see him as he was one of our favourite comedians. I did laugh, but his material was old, the encores were probably the most entertaining, I hate to say it as I love him but I think with the weight loss he has lost his funniest. After such a long break I would have thought he would have had new material but it consisted of panning in on the audience and tv ads from the 70/80s, very disappointing.

To add to my review. I must mention the sound . His voice was echoing the entire time. So you'd hear him say something then the back speaker would play the sound again. Totally not in sync. If you have tickets. Sell them on. Burn them . Gift them . Don't waste your time.

Negative reviews are baffling. We were laughing the whole time as was everyone surrounding us. You could see and hear people having a great time. Everyone knows his brand of comedy, so don't go to see him and then complain that you get his brand of comedy. It was a much needed lift in a currently crappy world.

A really disappointing show. No new material. Not funny at all. A waste of money. Left after an hour. Sad to say as I normally like Peter Kay’s material. Not last night. Awful

So sad to write this but his show last night in the 02 was awful. Not funny at all. No new material & all about signing old advert songs to fill time! Waited a long while to see him & hugely disappointed

What a disappointment! We were so looking forward to seeing him and my god it was boring. Too much emphasis put on the crowd carrying the show which was basically a " sing a long"
We could see people leaving way before he finished, and I can only conclude that the positive reviews are from those who had been on the "pop"!

We Went to see Peter Kay last night at the O2. Extremely disappointed, old content, rambling, if I had been watching that performance on the TV the Chanel would have been changed quicker than it took him to come on stage.
Poor show. Sad to see someone who has been so entertaining and funny become, I am sorry to say, boring and unentertaining. Time for a change Peter.
