I am not a fan of his material and I have been told by numerous people is he an absolute p***k.

However, anyone who can sell out 130 arena dates from now to 2025 must be doing something right! Good luck to him, touring is not easy, I did read he had some health issues.

He will need to keep jokes fresh. What says in 2023 may not be said in 2025.

I would not be surprised if he does well in North America also.

From my experience with the Yanks they don't get irony nor sarcasm. They have thing for puns though.

They love simple humour and cultural references hence Seinfeld which is Peter Kay material. He could easily talk about 80's American TV which they will love.

The Dallas shower scene is still spoken about, my friend was having major dental work after the episode was aired. The dentist was moaning about it during the procedure with gritted teeth and getting more angry by the second. This made my friend even more scared, then again the dentist is related to Jeff Goldblum.

The Fly and the infamous shower episode was both in 1986 if memory serves me right.


I saw both The Fly and Fly 2 in the cinema each time there was a lady being sick or screaming. I do remember some wolf whistling.

Mrs Wyot and I tried to get tickets. We phoned the moment they were supposedly put on sale and waited in a queue of 60 000 odd thousand for a 20 000 seat venue. We gave up in the end!

Love Peter Kay.

I love Peter Kay too; one of the best.

Keep trying Wyot!

Look at Ticketmaster.

I really don't think that Americans will get his humour at all. It is very british, talking about Coronation Street, t'internet, and his aunties who were his mum's mates. I don't think he cares, he's got loads of money, likes a quiet life in Bolton, and works when he wants to. I find him to be a likeable enough bloke, but I never really understood why saying garlic bread in a bolton accent was so funny.

Just had a look - all dates say "limited availability" then click in and "no results found".

If you have found a link to an o2 show in 23 not being resold for £500 put it up please GM!!

The Americans liked James Corden for some very odd reason. However did blag his way through to an executive by saying he does interview's. Corden, is an arrogant douchebag who I have met at work.

Joan Rivers had some success in the UK, I found her to be very hit and miss with her jokes and style even in the 1980s.

I never understood why people like Harry Hill. However being held hostage by Ken Dodd was both fun and tiresome.

I think it's aimed that to those who never venture out or try foreign food/restaurants.

I have seen poncy or people who think they are poncy. Putting on Italian accents in Italian restaurants, they order a pizza with a long title or pasta dish, then try and say the name. It's flipping nauseating.


I love American Italians especially the older folk (baby boomers) from areas like Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhatten or Belmont in Bronx.

Not everyone Wyot. It's normally the (white) middle-classes.

I love the working class chav type in Italian restaurant's they normally just say 'cheeze and tomata pizza' or 'spag bowl' which has made choke and I did nearly spit out some expensive Rosso dell'Abazia; I was trying to hold back the laughter.
