Peter Kay Expands 2026 Comedy Tour with 11 New Dates

Peter Kay has announced 11 additional dates for his highly anticipated 2026 comedy tour, following overwhelming demand. The comedian, known for his infectious humor, initially launched the Better Late than Never tour in 2022, which has now been extended to include shows across the UK.

Kay emphasized that all profits from the tour will be donated to a range of cancer charities, illustrating his commitment to supporting those affected by the disease. He stated, “It’s finishing next year and I am announcing the last lot of shows, but all profits are going to cancer charities.”

Support for Cancer Charities

The funds raised will benefit 12 organizations, including Children with Cancer UK, Teenage Cancer Trust, Kidney Cancer UK, Blood Cancer UK, Bowel Cancer UK, Prostate UK, DKMS, Ovarian Cancer Action, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Anthony Nolan, the Brain Tumour Charity, and Breast Cancer UK. Kay highlighted the personal impact of cancer, noting, “Unfortunately, everybody knows someone who’s been affected on that list, and I just hope people support it.”
