Peter Kay: The Tour That Didn't Tour Tour

After a long break Peter Kay returned to stand-up with this show.

It's perhaps not as good as the earlier shows that were released onto DVD, but there is more than enough funny material here to make people of all ages laugh.

Peter Kay is so skilled at what he does, really tapping into the everyday things that we all think about but never say.

Yes, there's a fair bit of swearing, but Kay's natural charm and enthusiasm more than makes up for it.

8 years on from his 'Live at the Bolton Albert Halls' tour, Peter Kay hit the stage again with 'The Tour that didn't Tour, Tour'. That's not to say that Peter Kay was making a comeback from years away from the public eye, he was instead focusing on TV work, a return to stand-up though was pleasant to see as 8 years was too long without it!

Being filmed in 2011, it is a lot more current than his previous shows; we have jokes on Sky+, Wifi, problems with technology and much, much more. After all this time, his style remains the same, little bad language and mainly family friendly humour – I wouldn't say it's for children but it's certainly not crude or offensive in anyway.

As usual, Peter Kay ends his show with a sing-along, however this time it is bigger than ever – it makes references to earlier jokes and the reaction from the crowd showed us that it really worked. After such a long time out of the stand-up game, this show really could have gone either way, thankfully he pulled it off, delivering some of his best material yet.
