Peter Kay's rescheduled Birmingham show: What fans need to know
PA MediaIt has been a long wait for fans who were due to see Peter Kay at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on 1 May.
On that day, the comedian was only 45 minutes into his much anticipated show when the arena was forced to be evacuated and Kay was rushed off stage due to a bomb hoax.
Omar Majed, of Saltley, Birmingham, was later charged over the hoax, with a provisional trial date for the 19-year-old set for 3 November.
Disappointed fans have had to wait patiently but they will finally be able to watch Kay's rescheduled show - aptly part of the Better Late Than Never tour - at the Utilita on Saturday.
Will my May ticket work?
All tickets which were purchased for the show on 1 May are valid for the rescheduled performance on Saturday.
A spokesperson for Utilita advises that anyone who has not heard anything about the rescheduled date, or is unable to attend and needs to request a refund, should contact the ticketing provider they originally bought the ticket from.
At the time of writing, there are also still tickets available for Saturday's show, with prices ranging from £39 to £171.
Doors will open at 18:00 BST with the show set to start at 20:00.
Those under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over with a valid ticket, the spokesperson added.
How long has the tour been running?
The Better Late Than Never tour kicked off in 2022, marking the end of a 12-year-break from touring for Kay.
He had been due to go on tour in 2018 but it was cancelled due to "unforeseen family circumstances".
Kay kicked off the first leg of the tour at the Manchester Arena and was moved to tears as he was given a standing ovation.
He had to compose himself before telling fans: "How am I supposed to do comedy now? You'll have me in bits... I can't believe you made me cry."
After four years, the tour is now coming to a close.
Where are tour profits going?
All profits made from Kay's latest tour will be donated to 12 leading cancer charities:
- Children with Cancer UK
- Teenage Cancer Trust
- Kidney Cancer UK
- Blood Cancer UK
- Bowel Cancer UK
- Prostate Cancer UK
- DKMS
- Ovarian Cancer Action
- Pancreatic Cancer UK
- Anthony Nolan
- The Brain Tumour Charity
- Breast Cancer UK
Kay said: "It's been the greatest privilege of my life to perform for audiences up and down the country.
"I've been completely overwhelmed by the support over the years, and it feels right to give something back. Every single penny of profit from these final shows will go to help fight cancer and support those affected.
"Unfortunately, just about everyone knows someone who's been affected by one of the cancers on that list.
"I really hope people can get behind this - come out, have a great night, share a few laughs, and do something good for charity at the same time. It's a win–win."
