Peter Kay announces exclusive Bolton benefit shows with proceeds for hospice and cancer charities

Comedian Peter Kay will perform four benefit shows exclusively for Bolton residents at Albert Halls in July, marking his first appearance there in over two decades. All proceeds from these performances will support Bolton Hospice, with additional tour profits designated for twelve cancer charities. Tickets go on sale Friday and are restricted to individuals with a Bolton postmark. The shows include evening performances on July 9, 10, and 11, plus a matinee on July 11. These dates will be incorporated into his 2026 stand-up tour titled Better Late Than Never. Kay, aged 52, is a comedy legend from Bolton organizing these hometown-exclusive events as charitable initiatives.
