PETER Kay will be dancing his way to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena in the new year.
The comedian will bring his charity dance-a-thon Dance For Life to the Ericsson Indoor Arena on January 26 and 27.
All profits from the three hour shows will go to Cancer Research UK.
The venue will be transformed to accommodate a large dance floor with state of the art sound and lights, and DJ PK at the turntables spinning the sounds.
Peter said: “I’ve honestly never had so much fun as I had working on Dance For Life. The atmosphere was so happy and positive; it really is a great way to raise money for the worthiest of causes. All people have to do is turn up and dance.
“I’d also like to encourage people to get themselves sponsored via JustGiving.com where a special Dance For Life team page has been set up.”
Nick Eastwood, Wasps Group chief executive, said: “Peter Kay sells out his shows across the country which is no surprise since he is extremely funny and his Dance For Life shows are a fantastic way of raising money for a great charity as well as having an enjoyable night.”
Claire Rowney, director of Stand Up To Cancer at Cancer Research UK, said: “We are so grateful to Peter for hosting his epic Dance For Life events to raise money, we need as many people as possible to join Peter and kick cancer’s ass by dancing the night away. The money that is raised from the events will fund vital research so that we can save more lives, more quickly.”
