Peter Kay, the writer and star of Peter Kay’s Car Share, played an April night of his tour Better Late Than Never at The O2 arena in North Greenwich.
Peter Kay, who wrote and starred in Peter Kay’s Car Share, played The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Friday 4 April 2025. The night was part of his tour Better Late Than Never.
Kay grew up in Farnworth, Lancashire, and started in stand-up at the Frog & Bucket in Manchester in 1996. Channel 4 gave him That Peter Kay Thing in 2000 and Phoenix Nights a year later.
Car Share began on the BBC in May 2015, and a second series followed in April 2017. In October 2015 he also starred in Cradle to Grave, a BBC sitcom drawn from Danny Baker’s teenage years.
He voices the police officer Albert Mackintosh in two Wallace & Gromit films. The first was The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005, and the second Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024.
The April show was one of his monthly dates at The O2. The arena calls it the first monthly residency it had given any artist, and he had played 45 shows there by early 2025.
