Inside Peter Kay’s huge comeback as comedy superstar is seen looking very different backstage
PETER Kay’s comic timing is never off – but fans have had to wait a long time to hear his latest punchlines.
Now, the UK’s favourite comedian is back, performing a handful of enormous gigs each month until the summer of 2025.
Fans are finally getting a glimpse at stand-up star Peter in his natural environment – and we can take a look behind the scenes.
The 49-year-old was recently seen after his gig at London’s O2 Arena with his friend, Bryan Edery.
The musician shared a video of the pair together at the gig, with Peter looking noticeably slimmer than the last time we saw him.
One fan wrote: “Wow you’ve lost weight, look brilliant” while another said: “I didn’t recognise him.”
In it, he was seen looking relaxed in a black hoodie treating fans to one of his catchphrases: “Two lamb bhunas.”
The order is the payoff from the iconic John Smith’s ads of the early 2000s, which caused the phrase “Ave it” to echo around football pitches across Britain.
Earlier this month she was seen with another TV icon, Susan Boyle, backstage at his Glasgow gig.
She’s ended up being part of the show that night when audience members revealed the crowd began chanting “SuBo”.
The pair, who are friends from their time co-starring on the Comic Relief single I Know Him So Well, cosied up together for a picture.
A caption alongside the snap – shared by 62-year-old Susan’s team – said: “A reunion 12 years in the making!
“Susan Boyle & Peter Kay back together again after she went to see his hilariously brilliant show ‘Peter Kay Live’ in Glasgow. How has it been 12 years since their Comic Relief video came out?!”
Many fans have also been posting their verdict on the tour, which has sold out all 110 live shows.
One wrote: “Fulfilled one of my dreams last night and saw Peter Kay live. He was so funny, what an absolute legend.”
Another simply echoed the views of many, writing: “The king of comedy is back.”
