Peter Kay has been doing some ‘top secret’ gigs in Salford
‘It was the weirdest but best experience ever’
Peter Kay has been keeping busy this week with a string of ‘top secret’ comedy shows at a theatre in Salford.
People heading into the secluded shows at The Lowry were made to hand in their mobile phones prior to the gigs, and allegedly had to ‘whisper’ which show they were seeing when collecting their tickets.
Fans who were able to secure the tickets took to Twitter after the gig, with one person even saying it was the ‘best night of my life ever’.
Paula Bear, who admitted that she thought the gig was a ‘scam’ at first, wrote: “Omg just been to a secret gig with Peter Kay at The Lowry.
“Best night of my life ever, that guy is a legend. Phones in locked pounces, secret ticket collection, the lot.
“Still buzzing.”
Replying to someone’s question about the gig, Paula added: “It was the weirdest but best experience ever.
“He is just such a grounded fella. The gig was really raw and unpolished which was what made it so personal.”
The secret gigs have fuelled speculation that the Phoenix Nights star is preparing for a huge ‘come back’ tour in 2023.
A source close to the star said back in May: “He has lined up huge venues across the country including in Manchester, London and Birmingham and is hoping to announce it in September.
“Peter has not performed a live stand-up set on a big stage in well over a decade now but he could not be more ready to get back out there.”
Kay took a step back from comedy in 2018 after cancelling his live arena tour due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’.
