Last Friday, the comedian was moved to tears on the opening night of his first stand-up tour in 12 years.

Kay announced the extra shows on Sara Cox's BBC Radio 2 drive-time show on Thursday.

He said: "First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who's bought tickets to my tour and I really do appreciate it.

"And we've finally managed to book some more extra dates."

Kay said reaction to news of his tour had been "absolutely joyous" and described the first shows as "brilliant".

He said: "It's been amazing and people deserve a bit of joy."

He reminded people that he had kept price in mind when planning the upcoming shows.

"Don't forget they start at 35 quid," he said. "I've done them cheap for the whole cost-of-living thing. So that's £35 at 2010's prices."

It will be Kay’s first live tour since 2010, when he scored the Guinness World Record for the biggest selling run of all time, playing to more than 1.2 million people.
