Yet there was a deeply touching eulogy to his Nan, the source of so much material and who died at the same age as the Queen.

Kay was born into an Irish Catholic family in Farnworth in Bolton in 1973, and left school with one GCSE in art. After a brief stint at the University of Liverpool, he swapped to media performance at Salford University.

The poster for his new tour preserves him as he was a couple of years ago, still chubby cheeked. They drove around Bolton together as Kay pointed out places that were important to him. “It was like a biography from a car. Some of it was very personal. Some bits were quite violent.” He declines to elaborate.

I had a couple of lairy, noisy guests at the bar, and as soon as he started the room just went quiet,” Perkin says. “You just knew [he was] something special.”Although the tour starts in December this year, the comedian will undertake more shows in 2023, with the final date in August.

But for all that, it didn’t come across as just another Peter Kay show. It has a more reflective air: the first half found Kay reminiscing on the dead-end jobs he worked before he was famous, including a stint as an usher in this very arena. The show’s other theme is the recent death of his 96-year-old nan, a big presence in Kay’s life. Earlier, that manifested as some first-base gags about gran’s malapropisms. Later, it prompted a sentimental finale, as a conversation grandson had with granny at the end of her life is replayed over a family-album slideshow.

Peter Kay’s tour will start on December 2 2022 at the Manchester AO Arena, and his run will end on August 11 2023 at the Utilita Arena Sheffield. There will then be five further dates across 2025. The tour will travel through Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Belfast, Newcastle, Dublin, Cardiff and Glasgow. Most big stand-ups in 2022 do confessional, soul-baring stuff, or posture against imagined excesses of “the woke”. Kay has never done either. He’s never given away anything of himself on stage. He doesn’t do stuff about his children, or his wife Susan. His mum and dad are regular characters in his jokes, but he doesn’t delve into the death of his father Michael before his career took off.
