PETER Kay has announced the final 14 dates of his record-breaking UK tour.

The Bolton comedian's My Mum Wants a Bungalow Tour is set to be the biggest comedy tour of the past year, with 120,000 tickets sold.

Peter, who plays his home town at the end of the month, said: "Some of these extra dates are pretty big venues, but we'll see whether the demand is there. I am delighted with the way the tour has been going -- I am enjoying every night and the audiences have been fantastic."

The new dates begin on May 24 at Cardiff and finish on June 28 at Liverpool and include four nights at the Manchester Apollo.

Tickets are available from the National Hotline (0870 011 2626) or at the individual venues.

Since they kicked off in Buxton last September, Peter's live shows have smashed box office records and received enormous critical acclaim.

In Manchester alone, Peter sold out an unprecedented 15 nights and 27,000 tickets at The Lowry and Apollo.

Demand for tickets has been so huge that it has exceeded that of big music acts like Robbie Williams, Paul Weller and Travis.

Meanwhile, the DVD of the second series of Peter's hit TV comedy show Phoenix Nights has become the fastest selling TV video of 2002. So far, more than half a million have been sold.

The new dates will delight fans. Despite the length of the tour, many have been left disappointed and without tickets.

When they went on sale for Bolton's Albert Halls, where Peter is performing on April 1-3, people camped outside the box office to make sure they booked their seats.

The tour is produced by Phil McIntyre Promotions, whose other credits include The Fast Show Live, The League of Gentlemen, Bottom and Victoria Wood.
