Comedian Peter Kay has announced a run of special performances across the UK to raise money for three charities including Maggie's.


The shows have been added to the end of Peter Kay's Better Late Than Never tour and will take place in Cardiff, Brighton, Hull and Blackpool.

All profits from the shows will be split between ҹɫֱ²¥, The Lily Foundation, and the Be More Laura Foundation.

Peter Kay, said:

It's been an incredible four-year tour. I've absolutely loved it. If doing a few more shows can help raise money for these overlooked and sadly underfunded charities, then that's the least I can do.

Dame Laura Lee DBE, our Chief Executive, said:

We are so pleased that Peter Kay has chosen ҹɫֱ²¥ as one of three charities to benefit from this incredible run of special performances. 

"Our 27 centres around the UK support hundreds of thousands of people diagnosed with cancer every year, as well as their family and friends, and the money we receive from these shows will enable us to be there for more individuals going through what is possibly the hardest time of their lives.

Tour dates

The dates and locations of the extra performances are as follows:

  • Sunday 6 September, 3pm and 7.30pm (Cardiff Utilita Arena)
  • Saturday 10 October, 3.30pm and 8pm (Hull Connexin Live)
  • Friday 13 November, 8pm (Brighton Centre)
  • Saturday 14 November, 3pm and 7.30pm (Brighton Centre)
  • Saturday 21 November, 3.30pm and 8pm (Blackpool Opera House)
