Peter Kay

I think he's over. I know everyone is entitled to a personal life but an explanation would have been welcomed, I loved Kay but I don't think I'd bother going to see him now. Plus I agree his material will be predictable. I'd probably like to see him on TV with something like car share again, he does that very well. I do believe that he's probably a wick in real life, the belligerent attitude towards cancelling and his absence cements that for me too. Maybe I'm being unfair.
I have no doubt that he’s a wick in real life. That Popbitch story about him having a clause in his contract stipulating that he takes a slice of the car park takings is 👌

I love all the I know someone who knows someone who knows xyz if he doesn't want all his fans who have put him where he is and made him a muti millionaire to know about his absence so be it apparently his a twit irl anyway.
He's always going to have a die hard legion of fans who will laugh at his 20 year old recycled material. Comedy has moved on a lot in the 5 years he's been away I wonder if he has updated his material at all.
Ok. So this is from 2014 when I was a nurse in ITU and was looking after a patient who couldn’t maintain his blood pressure. He was being treated for Cancer. Long story short, due to chemo and sepsis he ended up on ITU for 24 hours. He was chatting to me during my shift as he was a level 2 not 3 patient. So not vented etc etc. He told me that he had been a patient with Peter Kay and he had Leukaemia.

Must be true then 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like Peter Kay having leukaemia has reached urban myth levels now. And like all urban myths there’s always someone’s friend of a friend/second cousin/great uncle who saw said thing happen with their own eyes so it can’t possibly be made up.

Who knows what the truth is? Peter has never said a word and the media have kept it hush-hush. I think the extreme secrecy makes it less likely to be cancer tbh. I can’t imagine why someone would be so concerned with keeping things hidden when they’re in the throes of cancer treatment and have bigger things to worry about. Plenty of celebs have gone through treatment and not been hounded by the press, so I can’t imagine PK being treated any differently.

I used to work for a national charity that Peter Kay had supported in the past. Everyone working there hated him, he'd been a right pain to work with, never confirming the terms on which he'd donate any ticket proceeds which made it a right headache when promoting the partnership as you can't tell the public that a donation is going to charity without being really clear how much (and it's the charity on the hook). Would never sign an agreement to confirm the arrangement (again, an obligation on a charity working in this way). So when his agent approached us again and we went through this whole rigmarole again and were told to lump it as 'Peter doesn't sign anything' everyone was so pissed off as it was way more hassle than it was worth. Compared to celebs like Ed Sheeran and Greg James who were absolutely lovely to work with. So yeah, he's a douche.

I could believe that it's health reasons, and the press couldn't reveal that due to health info being so strictly protected under GDPR. But it could be the health of a family member, not necessarily him.

I disagree. Ticket sales go on sale Saturday at 10 am. By the afternoon all the original dates will be sold out and additional dates already added. I know he's been gone a while but if you can do what he did selling out a tour staying in one city making people travel to you, this one where he actually travels around the country will be an easy sell out.

Can’t remember what gossip forum I was on years ago and it was said it was Peter who had leukaemia and was in Christie’s.

I’m disappointed. I came here hoping a tattler would know someone who would know someone who could get me tickets on the sly beforehand but I forgot you all hate him. We saw him in Manchester doing a big charity thing and he was bloody brilliant.

Anyways I’ll be on the phone Saturday morning glad you lot won’t be clogging the phone lines up.

toodleloo haterz ✌🏼😁

That was a good series, although as much to do with the rest of the cast and the writing, as Peter Kay. I much prefer him as a character on television.

I’ve seen him do stand up live, wasn’t impressed tbh, and in real life he doesn’t sound like a nice person at all.

Think I posted on this thread years ago about his weird vibes during interviews. Characters, a stand up routine hilarious. Not so much when it's not scripted. There is something off and that pains me because he's funny. I actually fancied Kay because he was so funny but I digress I think he's probably a wanker. Look at what the people who've worked with him say.

Being a Northerner, I have laughed my socks off at some of Peter Kay's routines, as well as Car Share and some of the other shows he has done. It's been when he's on chat shows and the like when I've found him annoying. It's like he has to hog the attention and doesn't seem to let anyone else shine. He interrupts when others are being interviewed and has to make it about him. Fine, if he's the one man show but not when you're sharing a platform with others (even if those 'others' are egotistical themselves). It's plain rude. I'm not going to be in the queue to see him live but I will be looking out for what he does next, if I'm honest.

I don't think he does well in interviews! He used to be a warm up guy so he's probably more used to making the audience laugh than to be serious and answer questions. He always mucks about!

I do think it's good he has kept his ticket prices low though.

Coming here to stir the pot.

He stole Harry Hills material (PK heard him pitching way to Amarillo and stole the idea) now scrubbed from the net.

His Popbitch defaming story where he tried to sue a theatre chain because they wouldn't give him proceeds from their car park, till they did and it was £1 because the main car park was privatised and he went nuts

Anyone else get the vibe he's unpleasant?

There are so many rumours and stories about him being unpleasant that its probably true sadly.

I'm telling you all, I remember an interview were he was really obnoxious, parkie maybe? I remember feeling duped by him. He didn't come across well at all. And it wasn't an interview were he was climbing about the set, there was a nastiness guys.
Real disappointing.

He appeared on the last episode of Parkinson with David Beckham and Billy Connolly amongst others and was awful. He completely took over and interrupted everyone else.

I feel like only northerners get his humour so no wonder he’s got no London dates booked 🤣 his advert announcing the tour is trending on YouTube,so he’s still got a lot of fans and his website crashed when he announced it.

He’s really good at observational humour. A lot of the things he jokes about are things I recognise from my own upbringing and daily life. That’s what makes him so funny IMO.
