Peter Kay appeared on The One Show as he confirmed he’ll be adding more tour dates next year, all for a good cause.
The 52-year-old Bolton-born star began his Better Late Than Never tour back in 2022. However, due to it’s success he’s repeatedly added new dates.
Recently, he confirmed that he’ll be performing more tour dates in 2026. Better Late Than Never has seen the comedian break all attendance and performance records at the AO Arena.
He become the first artist in the world to perform a monthly residency at The O2, London, with 45 shows – the most played by any artist in the venue’s history. The comedian also has his new book, Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy from Bolton which was released this October.
On Wednesday (November 26) night, the comedian appeared on The One Show as he announced that he’ll be adding the last few dates of his tour next year.

Confirming that all profits will go to a good cause, Peter shared: “It’s finishing next year, and I am announcing the last lot of shows but all profits are going to cancer charities. They’re all 12 cancer charities which are, Children with cancer, UK Teenage cancer trust, Kidney Cancer UK, Blood Cancer UK, Bowel Cancer UK, Prostate UK.”
Peter continued: “DKMS, Ovarian Cancer Action, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Anthony Nolan, the brain tumour charity, and Breast Cancer UK.”
He added: “Unfortunately, everybody knows someone who’s been affected on that list, and I just hope people support it. Come to the shows, that’s why I’m here. You don’t even have to like me, it goes beyond that. This is about supporting those charities.”
The comedian then quipped: “If it’s not funny, you get your money back… You don’t. I hope you’ll come and do it. It’s 12 cancer charities.”
Tickets for his last few shows go on sale this Sunday (November 30), and the shows will start on March 8.
