Went a couple of weeks ago after blagging a reduced price ticket. Really is a show of 2 halves. I thought the first half was garbage, it was like the same nostalgia schtick on repeat. When he spent 15 minutes repeating TV adverts of the 70/80/90s I thought I might not return for the 2nd half.
Second half much better although if I'd paid full price for a ticket I would not have been happy. Almost as unhappy as the AO charging £9 for a pint of Moretti.
He came back on stage for an encore and within seconds it was clear he was going for a re-hash of the first half of the show (more group singalongs), so up, out and onto the Metrolink before the crowds hit, Result.
His voice and look has changed, voice has lost it's fullness and he's lost a lot of weight. He has gone through a health battle though as well as losing his Gran, he's been seen many a time at Christies unfortuntely, let's hope he's over that battle and on the road to recovery.
Just wish he'd write some more original material, I still love re-watching Phoenix Nights and That Peter Kay Thing
just been to see him tonight at the AO Arena. Gonna say 8/10 max.Went last night very disappointed only laughed a hand full of times, he even rehashed stuff from That Peter Kay Thing, I’d be very surprised if he actually completes the tour over the next few years, obviously the cancer has took its toll. He’s been doing the tour a year it’s nit very polished and there were constant mistakes as he lost train of thought, it was sad to see really.
Anyone thinking of paying over the odds to watch it, don’t, you’ve seen most of it before and I thought the tribute bit was very cringing and should’ve been kept private if I’m honest.
I think he’s run out of material, let’s face it all his early stuff was about what he did before he became a comedian and then had massive success so now what does he talk about now as a multi millionaire private individual, I think this is why Lee Evans retired, they lose touch with the man on the street through no fault of their own, so they can’t relate to us anymore.
I hope Peter fully recovers and comes back maybe with Phoenix nights or something else but for stand up I think it’s time hang up the mic.
I went too, and this sums it up well.Went last night very disappointed only laughed a hand full of times, he even rehashed stuff from That Peter Kay Thing, I’d be very surprised if he actually completes the tour over the next few years, obviously the cancer has took its toll.

Totally agree saw him in February and was really disappointed. I think it was at least half an hour in before I laughed. And left before the encore . Also how much weight has he lost if it wasn’t for his voice you wouldn’t recognise him .I went too, and this sums it up well.
That first half was woeful, me and the Mrs were joking after paying £18 for 2 beers and queuing for ten mins for a piss, that we’d waited 18 months for that. Second half was far better, but the end of the show thing was dreadful.
I wish him all the best but he needs a complete redo
Did he mention garlic bread and everyone pissed themselves laughing?
