Peter Kay: Live At The Bolton Albert Halls
Peter Kay, is set to once again storm the DVD and video charts this Christmas, with the release of Live At The Bolton Albert Halls, recorded during his sell-out mammoth 180 date, 9 month UK tour.
This hilarious new show from the man the Daily Mirror called "One of the funniest men in Britain" was filmed in front of his hometown Bolton audience. Peter Kay’s new DVD brilliantly demonstrates a unique brand of humour and one man’s genius for comic anecdotal observation. Not just a hero in his hometown, over 300,000 fans laughed relentlessly as Kay performed his ‘Mum Wants A Bungalow Tour’ at venues up and down the country.

It’s packed full of classic routines, as he reminisces about watching 80’s TV including Jim Bowen on Bullseye: "Let’s have a look at what you could’ve won", owning a Ferguson VideoStar with a wire-attached remote control and being offered Piccalilli in a chip shop.
He accurately points out things that happen at family weddings that everyone can relate to, like his aunties and grandma doing their best bent over dancing, flashy tanned DJ’s and people doing ‘the walking to the dance floor’ dance.
Nothing escapes his critical eye, even biscuits get a tongue-lashing: "Rich Tea are bad for dipping – you got to be like lightning with Rich Tea. HobNobs now that’s a biscuit for dipping. HobNobs are like the Marines – they’re like the SAS of the biscuit world!"
Peter Kay’s first video release Live At The Top Of The Tower was one of the best-selling live comedy videos of 2002, shifting a massive 500,000 copies. Live At The Bolton Albert Halls is a must-have buy that looks certain to be another smash hit.
