Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 8th November 2022Opinion: Peter Kay felt like a nostalgia act a decade ago, will his comeback tour change him?
The world, of course, has changed since Kay last toured, but I can't see him changing. I can't see him shouting out "sourdough" instead of "garlic bread". Will he be making jokes about Tiktok and Elon Musk? And while Kay is unashamedly old-fashioned and old school I don't think there is anything in his past that might get him cancelled. The woke warrior brigade would be wasting their time trawling through his Twitter timeline for incriminating gags. I'm not even sure if Kay puts the posts on his Twitter feed himself - he is so old school he is the only comedian I know whose Twitter handle is his website address.
