The 48-year-old comedian and all-rounder invaded the stage at Manchester Centra where he entertained fans with a three-hour show featuring songs by artists such as S Club 7 and Abba. The joker started Dance for Life in 2016 to raise money for Cancer Research UK and his latest event was rescheduled for 2020. Peter’s latest show marks one of the comedian’s first public appearances since he was forced to cancel a huge tour in 2017 citing “unpredictable family circumstances”. And after five whole years, he came on stage with an epic gag that made the whole audience scream. Peter’s wedding joke was a treat with the audience ( Picture: Getty Images) Arriving on stage twenty minutes late, Peter joked: “Sorry we’re late, they’re a little late. “Many of you will not have the opportunity to dance anymore. If you are like me, you will be in a wedding every four years for about 11 minutes until they play something modern and sit down because you feel about 100.” The profits of the epic tour will be donated to Cancer Research UK, with the event being described as “the life-changing dance-a-thon party”. Last month, Peter took to Instagram to promote his new tour.

It comes after Peter canceled his tour in December 2017, citing “unpredictable family circumstances” as the reason why he asked to stop. At the time, he took to Twitter to make the shocking announcement. “Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I am deeply sorry that I have to cancel all my upcoming projects.
