Beloved British comedian Peter Kay has delivered thrilling news for his fans, announcing the final chapter of his monumental live tour during an appearance on BBC's The One Show.
A Grand Finale for a Good Cause
The comedian confirmed that he is adding the last set of dates to his Better Late Than Never tour, which will now extend into 2026. In a heartfelt move, Kay declared that all profits from these new shows will be donated to a dozen cancer charities.
He stated, "It's finishing next year, and I am announcing the last lot of shows but all profits are going to cancer charities." The specific charities he named are:
- Children with Cancer UK
- Teenage Cancer Trust
- Kidney Cancer UK
- Blood Cancer UK
- Bowel Cancer UK
- Prostate Cancer UK
- DKMS
- Ovarian Cancer Action
- Pancreatic Cancer UK
- Anthony Nolan
- The Brain Tumour Charity
- Breast Cancer UK
An Unprecedented Tour Reaches its Conclusion
The Better Late Than Never tour first launched in 2022 and has enjoyed such phenomenal success that Kay has been consistently adding extra dates to meet public demand. The newly announced shows are the final additions, marking the tour's ultimate run.
Kay made a powerful plea for support, acknowledging the widespread impact of cancer. "Unfortunately, everybody knows someone who's been affected on that list, and I just hope people support it," he said. "Come to the shows, that's why I'm here. You don't even have to like me, it goes beyond that. This is about supporting those charities." He lightened the mood with his signature humour, joking about a non-existent money-back guarantee if the show isn't funny.

For fans eager to be part of this charitable finale, the opportunity is just around the corner. Tickets for the new tour dates will go on sale this Sunday, November 30. The final leg of the tour is scheduled to commence on March 8, 2026.
This announcement solidifies Peter Kay's tour not just as a major entertainment event, but as a significant fundraising endeavour for vital health causes across the UK.
