Peter Kay remains one of the UK’s most successful comedians, despite his three year hiatus. But Fans have been left buzzing at the news that he will be returning to the stage for a charity gig in aid of tumour patient Laura Nuttall.
The Bolton-born comic has a gob-smacking bank balance to match his fame and success, regardless of the fact he cancelled his last stand up tour to deal with ‘unforeseen family reasons’.
Since 2017, Peter Kay’s net worth has remained incredibly healthy.
Although he made an appearance at a charity screening of Car Share in Blackpool in April 2018, and enjoyed a brief cameo in April’s Big Night in, the comic has had a quiet few years.
Nonetheless, Peter Kay’s net worth is way beyond expected after the down-to-earth family man accumulated millions during his years on the stage.
