Comedian announces four more shows in his home town early in the New Year to support Bolton Hospice after huge demand for tickets

Peter Kay is to return to his home town of Bolton once again in the New Year with four more comedy shows in aid of Bolton Hospice.

Peter will play two matinee and two evening shows at the Albert Halls on Saturday and Sunday 9-10 January 2027.

The announcement follows the performances at the venue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which sold out in minutes when tickets went on sale earlier this year.

Peter said: “There was such a big demand for tickets for the shows I have just done that I really wanted to put some more on, which give the chance for people who missed out this time to come along.

“Putting on four shows over a weekend means I can also play matinees and increase funds for the hospice, which is what this is all about.

“I wanted to play in my home town and the only availability at the Albert Halls was in January – but as I always say, better late than never!”

Before the recent shows, Peter last performed at the Albert Halls in 2003, recording the iconic Peter Kay: Live at the Bolton Albert Halls, which to this day is the biggest selling stand-up DVD of all time in the UK.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday 17 July at 10am and, as with the recent Bolton shows, they are limited to fans who live at a BL postcode.

All profits will be donated to Bolton Hospice.

Peter said: “I was made up by the response to these shows at the Albert Halls and it was lovely to play to a smaller audience than usual, all from the local area.

“I want to once again thank the people of Bolton for their support. This is another opportunity to help raise money for the amazing charity Bolton Hospice, which needs all the support it can get.”

Chair of Bolton Hospice, Judith Bromley, said: “We are blown away that Peter has so generously offered to perform four more shows in aid of the  hospice in January next year.

“The money raised from the recent brilliant shows in Bolton will make a huge difference to all the local people who come through our doors.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday (17 July) at 10am.

Tickets will only be available via Quay Tickets
