Punch the air. Comedy legend Peter Kay is making a welcome comeback — six years after pulling the plug on his nationwide live tour due to personal reasons.

The comedian is thought to be putting on a huge new stand-up show which will include London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s AO Arena next year for the first time in 14 years.

A source told The Sun: “He has lined up huge venues across the country including in Manchester, London and Birmingham and is hoping to announce it in September.”

The insider added: “Peter has not performed a live stand-up set on a big stage in well over a decade now but he could not be more ready to get back out there.”

In 2018, the star cancelled his sold-out nationwide tour and shared: “Due to unforeseen family circumstances I deeply regret I am having to cancel all of my upcoming work projects.

“My sincerest apologies. This decision has not been taken lightly and I’m sure you’ll understand my ­family must always come first.”

We can't wait to have him back.
