Get the low down on Peter Kay with our top five facts:
1: The star of the BAFTA-winning Phoenix Nights, Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere and Britain's Got The Pop Factor returns to his hometown North West venue for the first time since his 2003 Mum Wants A Bungalow tour.
2: Speaking ahead of his Manchester return, Peter said: "Writing my book recently made me realise just how much I used to love and have missed performing stand-up. I'm delighted to be performing at the magnificent M.E.N Arena, it feels like home to me, in fact I can see my house from the roof!"
3: The star of 2009's Children In Need single, Kay first broke onto the comedy scene in 1996 when he won North West Comedian of the Year.
4: He's since gone on to win four British Comedy Awards, four Royal Television Society Awards, the coveted Rose D'Or at the International Television Festival and, most recently, a prestigious BAFTA Award for his 2009 TV special Britain's Got The Pop Factor, which is also nominated for an International Emmy at next week's ceremony in New York.
5: One of the UK's most prolific stand-up comedians, his Mum Wants A Bungalow tour still holds the record as the biggest-selling British stand-up DVD and tour of all time.
