Sep 29 2011 by Mark Smith, Runcorn and Widnes Weekly News

COMEDIAN Peter Kay will bring the curtain down on his record-breaking UK tour with one final MEN Arena show in Manchester next month in aid of The Christie Hospital.

Performing 120 shows and playing to a record-breaking 1.2m people, Kay will return to his hometown venue for one final special night of The Tour That Doesn’t Tour Tour – The Farewell Tour, in aid of Manchester’s cancer hospital.

The Bolton comedian broke MEN Arena box office records last year when all 200,000 tickets for his four-week Manchester residency sold out in less than an hour.

He will now return for another 20 shows – starting later this month – after a phenomenal demand for tickets from his Manchester fans.

His two MEN Arena residences – along with sold-out multiple nights all over the UK – will make this the fastest selling stand-up tour of all time.

Joining Kay in Manchester on the charity night will be special guest Rick Astley.

Tickets for the event on Saturday, October 22, are £35.Call 0844 847 8000 or visit men-arena.com
