Comedian Peter Kay has revealed there will be extra dates added to his tour. He made the announcement during Sara Cox's BBC Radio 2 Drivetime Show on Thursday, December 8.
The news comes after tickets for the tour, which already has 110 dates, sold out rapidly, leaving many people disappointed. Talking to Sara, Kay said: "First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who bought tickets for my tour.
I really do appreciate it and we've finally managed to book some more, extra dates." In November, he initially added 50 extra dates to the tour, which you can read about here.

There will be extra shows in Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Glasgow and "many, many more" according to the radio host. A 28th London date has also been added.
As the interview came to an end, Kay said: "Don't forget, [tickets] start at £35. I've done them cheap for the old cost of living thing! That's £35 at 2010's prices."
It comes after Peter teased an announcement was coming on Wednesday, December 7. Posting on social media, he said: "I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to the first shows in Manchester. It was incredible to be a part of such a happy experience.
"Everybody deserves a bit of joy. Here's to a lot more in the shows to come!! P.S. big announcement Thursday on Sara Cox Drivetime Show just after 6pm."
Earlier this year, Kay made a return to live touring for the first time in 12 years. Last Friday, he received a huge standing ovation from fans on the opening night of his massive 110-date tour. He is set to play sold-out shows in Cardiff on June 16 and 17 next year.
