The comedian Peter Kay has announced a charity screening of new episodes of his hit TV show Car Share.
In his first post on Twitter since the comic cancelled a national tour late last year, Kay said that a charity screening of the new episodes would take place early next month in Blackpool.
The 44-year-old has not spoken publicly since he was forced to axe his first live tour in eight years in December, due to “unforeseen family circumstances”.
The post on Twitter reads: “Exciting news: A charity screening of new Peter Kay’s Car Share episodes will be held at Blackpool Opera House on Saturday 7th April. Tickets on sale Saturday at 9am.”

The second series of the BBC show ended on an emotional cliffhanger last year as Kay’s character John failed to reciprocate the advances of his car share colleague Kayleigh, played by Sian Gibson.
Fans of the programme were dismayed when Kay announced that he had no plans to write another series, but the comic later announced special episodes.
He also announced a special finale to reveal what happens next for the pair and an entirely improvised episode, Car Share: Unscripted.
Both the unscripted episode and the finale were filmed last year.
