On April 20, Peter K is bringing his comedy back to Bolton with four special benefits shows at the Albert Halls. It's his first time there in over 20 years, and all the money raised goes straight to Bolton Hospice. These gigs are set for next July, as add-ons to his 2026 tour, better late than never. Tickets drop this Friday, but here's the catch. They're only for folks with a Bolton postcode. That means locals give first dives on the evenings of July 9, 10th and 11th, plus a matinee that same Saturday afternoon. Fans are buzzing about this hometown move, especially after K's long break from the stage due to health stuff. It's a big nod to his roots, pulling in crowds who grew up on his laughs and giving back to the community that supported him. On top of the hospice funds, K's already pledged proceeds from his tour to 12 cancer charities, tying into his own battles and making these. Shows even more meaningful. Albert is spreading fast, so Bolton residents better act quick on those tickets could be

a packed house celebrating one of comedy's real ones right at home.
