 While chatting to fellow comedian Jason Manford on his Absolute Radio show in November 2017, Peter claimed that Vimto was part of the problem. "My entire act is through and through British. I reference everything British," he explained. "They go, 'You should go to America'... Billy Connolly said that to me, 'You want to go to America, they'd love you', but they would not get Vimto and all that," he added. "That's my fear, I think – [best to] stick to what you know." Another issue is that the funnyman gets quite homesick when he is away from his family, so he has no desire to go touring around the world. "You've got to just be happy with your lot," he added. "How much are you going to chase your tail? I thought about it... but do I want to be stuck in Norway, on me Jack? "They say go to Australia and I think, 'Well, I'd just go to Australia on a holiday'." Peter explained all to Michael Parkinson ( Rex) Peter also admitted that he has "never been keen on America" during an interview with legendary talk show host Michael Parkinson. The comedian joked that the only thing he liked about going there was that he feels smaller by comparison, joking){kind=link}
Comedian Peter Kay, who is going on a huge comeback tour for the first time in 12 years, has revealed why he hasn’t tried to crack the US – and it’s not because of his accent
Peter Kay is going on a huge comeback tour – but he won’t be venturing over to America. The 49-year-old comedian, who recently took five years out of the limelight and hasn’t done a tour in 12 years, will be doing stand-up to packed out stadiums across the UK once again.
Despite his immense popularity on these shores, Peter has never attempted to crack the US, even though some comedy legend’s have urged him to. The Bolton-born star has previously revealed why he has never broken through in America – and it doesn’t have anything to do with his accent.
