He withdrew from the public eye in 2017 when he canceled a massive 14-month stand-up tour due to “unforeseen family circumstances.”
But Peter Kay delighted audiences this week when he reportedly performed a “secret” comedy performance for a select audience.
The comedian, 49, appeared at a theater in Salford and had “new material” for the lucky fans who were invited.

Paula, a fan of the comedian, took to Twitter to share her experience at the exciting “secret” shows.
She wrote: ‘Omg just went to a secret gig with Peter Kay at The Lowry. Best night of my life ever, that guy is a legend. Locked phones, secret ticket collection, the whole lot. Still buzzing.’
Other Twitter users asked Paula for more details, but she kept it vague and replied, “It was the weirdest but best experience ever. He’s just such a grounded guy. The performance was really raw and unpolished and that’s what made it so personal.’
MailOnline has reached out to Peter’s representatives for comment.

Fans have been waiting for Peter’s return to the stage for years, after he stepped out of the spotlight in 2017 due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’ due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’, with his Dance For Life show seeing all proceeds go to Cancer Research.
Peter kicked off the tour in Manchester two weeks ago, for the first time since his record-breaking The Tour That Doesn’t Tour Tour…Now On Tour, which ended in late 2011.
And fans seemed happy with his performance as many shared their reaction on social media, with some even saying they were “emotional.”
The event is billed as a ‘dance-a-thon party that will save lives – with Peter also taking to the DJ decks during the show.
Peter was supposed to go on a massive tour from April 2018 through the summer of 2019, but he canceled it in December 2017 due to unknown circumstances.
The artist said on December 13, 2017: “Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I deeply regret having to cancel all my upcoming work projects.
This unfortunately includes my upcoming standup tour, Dance for Life shows and any outstanding live work commitments.
‘My sincere apologies. This decision was not taken lightly and I am sure you will understand that my family must always come first.”
He was previously slated to make a comeback with the Dance For Life series of shows to raise money for Cancer Research UK in April and May 2020.
But the events had to be postponed last March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Long on the way: Fans have been waiting for Peter’s return to the podium for years and have been seeing him much more regularly in recent months
