I saw him in Newcastle on the 6th September 2025.Very poor performance. I barely raised a smile. At times he seemed rambling. Far too much emphasis on singing tv tunes and old adverts(not in the least bit funny.)
It was all deeply disappointing.

Newcastle 6 September 25
I just don’t get the one star reviews. We laughed from beginning to end. Everyone around us was laughing too, didn’t see anyone leave. I’ve been waiting to see him for years and it was well worth the wait. Absolutely loved it

I bought tickets nearly three years ago and was really looking forward to seeing Peter Kay live in Newcastle and boy was I not disappointed . Me and my partner really enjoyed the show and can’t believe some of the reviews I read and think it’s just a generation thing so if you didn’t enjoy it that’s just you I would definitely go again and I know he’s on again in 2026 so very possibly I will attend.

So disappointed in this show.
Saw him years ago when he was at his peek and think he’s definitely past it now.

As others have said there was just a lot of padding out to pass time, filming the audience for ages, singing adverts and the encore - what can I say about that.
The best bit was the misheard lyrics but he’s been doing this for 20years.

I’m sorry his nan passed away, but again it was just pointless to the so called comedy and I’m sure she’d be disappointed by his lacklustre performance.

It felt like this was just a quick way to make money as he obviously hasn’t spent the past few years off writing anything new or funny.

Sorry Peter but give it up now before your come back ruins everyone’s memories of what a comic genius you used to be

Was a huge fan of Peter. All of his TV work and seen him in concert multiple times. Saddened to say this was an awful showing. First time we’ve left a concert mid-way. Very little content padded out with overly long sections - holding a camera on the audience, singing TV adverts etc. Left the younger audience with nothing. Add in swearing and some cheap lazy jokes rounded the night.

Wanted to love the show but first half was dreadful ,people leaving at the interval.

2nd half better but not worth the wait left feeling I wish I had not bothered .

Don't waste your money .

Absolute has-been!
Hasn't changed his act in the slightest to move with the times or written any new material.
Younger generation must be so disappointed having to listen to old adverts from 20+ year ago which they'll never have seen or heard. Rather than make up new material tries to interact with the audience to run down time and still talks about his nana. Give it a rest.
Remember though, he can pick on you in the audience but if you heckle, him he has no comeback, so will have you evicted.

So disappointed the first 30 minutes or so people singing old adverts what the youngsters thought I have no idea. After 30 minutes we left it is disgusting you can’t get a refund!! Very poor performance we weren’t willing to wait any longer to see if he improved

Went to see him at Newcastle, just a rly weird experience. I’m in my 20s and have liked videos of his stand up on YouTube but an entire half hour dedicated to singing ads from 40-50 years ago is just unfunny to the vast majority of people. And why is there an AI Noel Gallagher with a shovel that was just very strange

Peter Kay has been on my list to see for ages and had never been able to get tickets before now. We went to his Newcastle gig on Saturday 23rd August. What a let down. Bitterly disappointed. A couple of gags that made me chuckle that’s was it. Filming the audience, a singalong to old adverts and tv programs. Mis sung words of songs topped off with Mr Blobby flying above the audience. Dreadful. Never again. Time to call it a day Peter.

Well done Peter Kay. He put his heart and soul into the show and didn't disappoint. Great night watching a naturally funny bloke

Aw Peter you weren't very good mate . Ive loved your shows for years . No idea what this was about at all . Singing old adverts the audience entertained themselves you did very little .
Last time for me pal .

We saw Peter at the Arena in Newcastle last night, 22/8/25. I found him still really funny but the element of using swear words and being blue didn’t sit well with me. However, I would go again tonight if I could. The second encore was brilliant and well thought out. Thanks Peter 😂😂😂

Newcastle last night- bloody brilliant. Loved it !
Proper belly laughs.
Great start to the weekend

Peter Kay..laughed from the beginning all the way to the end.
This bloke is a comedy genius, after reading some of the reviews we were considering not going to see his show but we are so glad we did.
Thanks Peter

Just returned home from seeing PK at Newcastle and it was truly dreadful. In fact it was so dreadful we and quite a few others left at the half time interval. The old funny comedian is gone...replaced by an unfunny act that relies for almost a quarter of the show on trying to draw comedy from 60's and 70's tv adverts. Another big change from his previous persona is the vast overuse of foul language. I'm far from being a prude but I remember seeing him live where the use of such language hardly featured in his act...now its 'f' this and 'f' that every few minutes.

Watching his old live performances you could see the audience almost rolling in the aisles...tonight there was hardly a ripple.

Methinks it's time for him to retire gracefully while hes ahead (but only just)

Clinging to his good old days by a thread , poor

I was looking forward to this SSE concert but I was so disappointed and bored most of the time.I didn't pay to hear Peter Kay sing TV adverts and TV themes for about 30 minutes in total.I think I laughed twice all night.I can't understand anyone giving this a good review. If you have a ticket for a future gig my advice is sell it!

Agree with everything many others have said. After such a long time it was very disappointing. Very few funny anecdotes and too much singalong

So disappointing. After almost a 3 year wait, we were really looking forward to seeing Peter as he was definitely a favourite of ours. We don't remember him swearing as much in previous shows or being a little bit 'blue' but maybe that's a new direction for him and it isn't something that would put us off but he never needed to go that route before.

There were a few funny parts, but most of it seemed to just be filling time. After such a long wait for the show, it would have been great to experience material that is worthy of him.

The first bit was a little nostalgia, singing along to old tv ads, but where exactly was the comedy?
The encore also held no comedic value for us.

Disappointing and sad to say, we probably won't bother going to one of his shows again.

Has Peter lost his mojo?
