I used to love Peter Kay, I even have a signed DVD. Phoenix Nights, That Peter Kay Thing, Max and Paddy – brilliantly entertaining. The stand up shows were incredible, everyone loved them – it would have been easier to give everyone in the country a ticket, then people who didn’t want to go give their tickets back. I got well excited when I heard Peter was going to announce a new tour, I will definitely go to that I thought. There will probably be a show in Birmingham, there always is. If I can’t get tickets to Birmingham I could go somewhere else, Cardiff maybe. There will probably be 180ish dates.
No.
Four Dates.
Four.
“Well OK, is one of the four dates in Birmingham?”. I hear you ask.
No.
The first is Manchester, the second is Manchester, the third is Manchester, the fourth…Manchester.
That’s just silly. I feel really let down and I’m sure a lot of other Peter Kay fans feel the same. It seems that this four night run will be just long enough to cut together a DVD to be released in time for Christmas 2010. Why do a really good stand up tour when you can just bang out a DVD? For shame Peter, for shame.
