A pair of tweets from Peter’s official Twitter account, the first since September 2021, shared a link to his new Instagram account, which read: “Peter is now on Instagram, please let him follow his new official account ».
He comes after taking a break from life in the limelight in 2017, when he canceled a huge 14-month stand-up tour due to “unpredictable family circumstances”.
Here it is: Peter Kay took to Instagram to promote his new tour – having largely gone out of the limelight for the past five years
The new Instagram account has only two photos – a photo of Peter and a promo poster for his show, Peter Kay’s Dance for Life.
The dance party will take place in London, Manchester and Liverpool and is supported by Cancer Research UK.
“Additional tickets for Peter Kay’s Dance for Life have just been released in Manchester and Liverpool,” the caption read.

It comes after Peter made his long-awaited return to the stage last year, receiving applause after his three-year absence.
The comedian appeared at a charity concert at Manchester’s O2 Apollo in August and fans were excited to see him.
Surprised by the reaction, he told the crowd: “I have never in my life applauded standing up when I entered. I will leave for another four years “.
Peter canceled his tour in December 2017, citing “unpredictable family circumstances” and returned to the stage shortly the following year when he made a surprise appearance at a charity screening of the Car Share series.
The tour was scheduled to take place across the UK and Ireland from April 2018 until the summer of 2019 – and Kay had announced it just a month earlier.

But he said on December 13, 2017: “Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I am deeply sorry that I have to cancel all my upcoming projects.
“Unfortunately this includes my upcoming standup tour, Dance for Life performances and any great live work commitments.
“My sincere apologies. “This decision was not taken lightly and I am sure you will understand that my family must always be first.”
He was previously due to return with the Dance For Life series to raise money for Cancer Research UK in April and May 2020.

But the events had to be postponed to March last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, Kay released a special audio-only episode of the Car Share comedy with co-star Sian Gibson in April last year in an effort to “make people happy in some way.”
He also made a brief comeback last January when he appeared on Cat Deeley’s new BBC Radio 2 program, discussing New Year’s Eve and disturbing stories.
Kay fans had expressed concern about his health after appearing on the BBC’s Big Night In in April 2020, with some saying he looked “far from 100 per cent”.
Last September, it was revealed that his absence from the public eye had seen the money continue to flow into Good Night Vienna Productions, the company he founded in 1999.
Described as a “writing, documentary and television production” company, its share capital was 24.8 million £ by the end of March 2020 – 1 million £ compared to the previous year.
About ,3 23.3 million of the company’s assets were kept in “cash at the bank and at the cash register”, while its only reported expense was limited to just 4 1,495 – in “motor vehicles”.
Kay, whose 2010-11 tour set a Guinness World Record for appearing to more than 1.2 million people, lives with his wife Susan and their three children.
