Absolutely cannot understand the negative reviews! We had an amazing time last night in Manchester! Booked these tickets 3 years ago and they were well worth the wait! Peter Kay is an absolute legend and I am so glad I got to see him live before all you miserable woke lot kill off the comedy circuit for good! Don’t listen to all this negative feedback - if you didn’t laugh you must be dead inside! 2 & 1/2 hours of comedy gold and amazing value for money. Would go again tonight if I could!!

Same as most I think. Appalling.... can't even be bothered dissecting it. Walked out half way through, utter waste of money

Disappointed didn’t really laugh that much. Not very creative this time. It’s like he didn’t put much effort or preparation into to show.
The first part was just a bit of a re hash of old songs trying to make them funny but this went on way too long ….latter part of show improved but overall not the Peter Kay previously…

Some funny bits but in general very disappointing ☹️

I've booked to see him again in Glasgow next April! Absolutely brilliant, it's an unpredictable world we live in and this was a breath of fresh air, when the music got louder, the excitement really started , we loved every minute of it, I don't want a change , I want the Peter Kay humour we all know and love , thank you Peter and thank you Manchester, bloody brilliant 😀 ❤️ ( shake and vac peter)

A great night. Funny, heartwarming and entertaining. Venue a pain and only 1 way out but Peter Kay was fantastic. Would go again tomorrow

Best night from start to the amazing finish and everything in between, loved Steve, who didn’t quite get the adverts right,, UB40 a good choice though…bless… God knows what the bad reviewers were watching, The show is fabulous. .
Family from the highlands came to to see it as well and they’re lucky enough to be going again to the show in Glasgow next year, lucky things.
ENJOY…

Went to watch last night at AO Arena, on arrival the heat inside was unbearable, stood in the bar queue for 30 mins, then hit with £9.50 for a pint, so bought water instead, got a couple of bottles, you cant even keep the lid? What's that all about! Into the arena for the show. Was expecting belly laughs and hilarity, instead got him filming the audience for longer than needed. Funny for couple of mins but dragged on, then the awful adverts sing along, again not comedy really. Once that had dragged itself out, went onto tv programme theme songs, again stop as not funny, so first 40 odd mins were a bit rubbish. My son, 17 didn't get most of the relevance to the first half of the show. Interval and even hotter now, surely they can put the air-conditioning on. Second half didn't get much better for us, loads more recycled jokes that knew the punchlines for. And then all the talking about his previous jobs got very tedious and again not that funny, and if you didn't know he had a mum and a nanan before the show you certainly will after it as he will talk about them for most of the show. Then do a slightly creepy and corny montage to her! We left before the encore as we really couldn't be bothered staying. So overall a bad night out! Won't go and see him again.

Absolutely hilarious!! So funny and entertaining, We had such a good night thank you. My first time seeing him with pyrotechnics and a brilliant ending. I would love Peter to contact me as I have an hilarious story to tell him about the people behind where we were sat.😂😂😂

Absolutely amazing!!!!! Loved every second. He was hilarious, shocked by some of the reviews, not sure what other people were watching????
Keep doing what you are doing Peter Kay, we love you!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗

Old boring content,We were very disappointed after waiting so long to see Peter, I sniggered twice in a 2-hour show,, even the theme songs at the end if the show I had seen years previous, You can tell peter loved his Nan but that is private in my opinion,we watched people leave the O2 early before Peter had finished the show, I would advise people to save their hard earned money and go see Micky Flanagan instead.

Absolute waste of time and money. Raised about 3 laughs all night. First half cheap cop out filming audience and singing advert and tv theme tunes. 2nd half a bit better but still very limp. Great shame for previously funny man.

Absolutely hilarious, what an incredible experience. I have been a fan of Peter Kay’s for many years. I have read his autobiography which was so funny I couldn’t put it down, Phoenix Nights, Car Share and many more other amazing and memorable material.
His latest show was hilarious from the start, I cried with laughter throughout and it was so fantastic to see him live.
If you like Peter Kay then it will be a great experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am a Key fan, but, 7th June performance was not what we expected! The first part of the first half appeared, initialy, to be unscripted, but as things moved more towards an audio trip down memory lane provided by the audience once the old advert and tv show theme tunes were started by Kay...I didn't know the audience was the backing singers to Kay's jaunt into his past. Next we had the side show of the poor camera work and a complete lack of ability to focus on subjects, while embarrassing and mocking members of the audience who had either zero shame, public filter or were too intoxicated to remember what shame even is! The rest of the show was the old "I think these song lyrics have dirty words in", section, a long rant about his medical conditions and a depressing eulogy to his Nan. Sweet as it was, it completely killed the mood. who in their right mind thought that was appropriate for a comedy show? There were completely inappropriately long and time filling (as best as I could tell), encores that frankly were not justified. Finaly, even more songs and a finale that appeared to be a glorification of Kay by the die hard fans...or the intocicated. The whole show fell very well short of the sharp whit, analytical and observational comedy of Kay's good old days of the Tower Ballroom etc that we all know and love. Very disappointing as the tickets were bought by our kids for us way back in November 22!! Not worth the wait or the high price!

I think he has had his time now…
He spent the first 40 minutes going around the crowd with the camera (it was not funny at all). Then he spent ages getting the crowd to sing tv theme tunes (again not really funny). We actually left after about an hour or so as it was so bad…..
He needs new material instead of using the crowd to use the time up.
Utilitia arena is ok ( need more toilets as the queues were LONG). Parking was ace and no issues.
Shame we paid top dollar for tickets and the show was 3 out ot 10 max….. dont waste your money, wait for it to come out on netflix.

Saw Peter at the Utilia Birmingham. We had a cracking night. I have pains from laughing sooo much. Defo would go again. Brilliant show, my other half and I were dying laughing, loved the camera on the audience. Highly recommended

"Remember when is the lowest form of conversation" - Tony Soprano.

This quote kept repeating through my head throughout the gig, especially the first half. Everyone loves to reminisce but when you're paying a comedian £65 per ticket, you expect some jokes mixed in with those shared memories.

For the first 20 minutes of the show he had no routine or material at all, relying on filming the crowd and then expecting the crowd to carry the show. He singled out one man (Jim of Primrose Driving School) who literally stole the show from him. Everyone I spoke to after the show was talking about Jim, which speaks volumes.

The second half of the show contained some jokes/material but a lot of those were standard circuit jokes used by many comedians over the years.

I hate to say it as I love a lot of his stuff but Peter Kay has gone from being a comedian to a variety act show, and an average one at best. It was a fancy Pontins show and genuinely felt like a cash grab. I'm more disappointed than anything else as I feel taken advantage of.

This should really be a one star review but out of respect for Peter, the fact comedy is subjective, and my mum enjoying most of the show I decided one star would be too harsh

If my mum is happy, I'm happy. Just not happy enough to lie to others about how poor this gig was.

Saw Peter Kay at the O2 on Friday night (16 May 2025). Booked the tickets last Christmas and they weren’t cheap. Add the cost of hotel, train & tubes and it was a very expensive and disappointing weekend. The show starts with the audience cam - done it before - and then he does a whole “ad lib” section asking audience for old ads and getting them singing old ad songs. Does a bit of funny stuff then has a break. Second part is family and health stuff which is new and funnier. Third part goes back to the old misheard lyrics. That was when we left I’m afraid. Overall experience wasn’t good. The O2 is huge. The seats are uncomfortable and forget needing the toilets in the break - even the gents had a queue which is unheard of usually. Save your money and wait for the edited Netflix version

Mmmmm, seems very hard to write a review. I think some legal experts are blocking them. Very disappointing. Audience kept saying around me, he will get going soon but he didn’t. Very dull, boring and depressing part about his gran. Showing off about who he knows. About his expensive holidays with the stars. Don’t bother, watch the good stuff on YouTube

Absolutely fantastic. We went as a grown up family of five and we all came away with sore throats having laughed so hard and for so long. I've seen a lot of Peter Kay's shows in the past but I think this was up there with the best. I can't believe all the little Karen's are on here whining about the picture of a penis. It was a great gag and I'm still laughing about it. I can't wait to go to his next show.
