British actor and comedian Peter Kay has announced a date for his comedy tour Better Late than Never in Dublin at 3Arena on July 10 and in Belfast on August 7.

The opening episode of British reality show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here featured an ad that announced the extra tour dates, with Kay carrying a gold toilet before revealing his new tour dates. Fans have been anticipating performance announcements following Kay's cancelled 2018-2019 tour Have Gags, Will Travel.

Kay's comedy act has just reached it's 100th show at the Manchester AO arena, breaking all attendance records. Holding the Guinness World Record for the most successful stand-up comedy tour ever, his 2010–2011 tour sold over 1.2 million tickets.

Kay has had an illustrious career from authoring three books and co-writing and staring in Britain's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice and starring in BBC sitcom Cradle to Grave in 2015.

The comedian reflects that,"It's been wonderful doing what I love most, stand-up comedy. Laughter is more important than ever in these challenging times and with the cost of living still at an all-time high, ticket prices for the new dates will start from £35”
