Isn’t there all sorts of rumours about ALL
Other comedians hating him cos he’s a known plagiariser? I’m sure he and that Jerry the Beery fella had a big fall out?
All comedians steal jokes, but he has certainly been singled out for accusations of it.

I wouldn’t read too much into there not being any London dates announced. It’s pretty common for comedy tours to announce London dates later and tag them on at the end. (I’m a London resident and have noticed this many times). No idea why though!

Re PK: I also think he can be very irritating on talk shows etc. It’s like he thinks he has to be “on” all the time, and do this comedy act thing when he’s on TV, rather than just be himself (and he could just be himself and be funny). I get the impression he’s more comfortable doing the shtick, and not so comfortable just being himself. And he’s possibly not great at sharing the limelight, which is kind of the deal when you’re on a talk show. Just a thought.

I think he’s funny but a twit. I’m happy to watch him on tv but I wouldn’t want to interview him, work with him or be related to him! That’s true of loads of people though - famous or not 😂

Lee Evans was very much the same. He was so nervous when he had to be himself. It's like a comfort blanket when they're in their funny mode.

My son went to watch a tryout show that he did at the Lowry in Manchester at the beginning of October.
It was a by invite only and tickets were all a bit hush hush.
He said there was about 2000 in the audience and they all had to handover their phones on the way in.

Peter did a couple of hours, for the first hour he did what was probably a set from the tour and the rest of the time he was doing more off the cuff free styling and winging it.

My son did say that Peter looked well and was really funny.

So that's me online at 10am Thursday to get a pair of tickets.
He's done about 4 warm up shows - they started back in April. They were in the studio theatre that holds 200 .
