One of Britain’s best loved comedians, the multi award winning actor, writer, director, author and producer, is finally returning to his most successful 'hobby', which he says is stand-up comedy.

He said today: 'I really miss it. I know how lucky I am to be making television series and have really loved these past few years working on Car Share but I miss doing stand-up.

"As terrifying as it is, when it works there's nothing more fun and exciting. Plus, a lot has happened in the last eight years, with Trump, Twitter and my Nan getting her front bush trimmed at the age of 96. I can't wait to get back up on stage'.Kay's last tour in 2010, which still officially ranks with the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest selling comedy tour of all time, played to over 1.2 million people, including an eight nights at the Arena in Sheffield.
