Peter Kay has warned fans attending his Manchester gig on Friday to allow extra travel time due to planned industrial action affecting two-thirds of the city's bus services. The 52-year-old comedian shared the advice on social media, urging concertgoers to check their bus routes before heading to the AO Arena.
Doors open at 6:30pm, with Kay expected on stage at 8pm. Tickets for the 23,000-seat venue remain available from £99.25. The show is part of his Better Late Than Never Again tour, which began in December 2022.
Kay will perform in Liverpool on Saturday before taking a break, resuming in Nottingham on October 5 and 6, followed by Glasgow on October 22.
The comedian has faced criticism from some fans over copyright enforcement on social media, with clips from his shows being removed. One Newcastle attendee described the performance as a 'waste of £150', while another fan from Manchester said the tour 'did not land at all'. Some ticketholders have complained about recycled jokes and outdated humour.
However, others have praised Kay for his wit and observations on everyday life, maintaining his status as one of the UK's most successful comedians.
