Peter Kay’s Tour, The Darkness Tour & Helifest Cornwall | Comedy, Rock & Festival First Look

🎧 In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we’re taking three very different trips into live entertainment — from belly laughs to big riffs and even a festival with helicopters!

👉 First up, we explore Peter Kay’s Tour, the long-awaited comedy comeback that’s packing out arenas and proving why Kay is still the king of observational humour.

👉 Then, it’s time to crank up the volume with The Darkness Tour — glam rock, falsetto vocals, and a show that’s as outrageous as ever. But does the nostalgia still hit as hard today?

👉 Finally, we shine a spotlight on Helifest in Cornwall, a family-friendly music festival supporting the Cornish Air Ambulance. With live acts, local community vibes, and an important cause, it’s more than just a festival — it’s a celebration with heart.

Whether you’re into stand-up comedy, rock concerts, or UK festivals with a cause, this episode gives you a first look at it all.

After weeks in renovation hell learning about specialised vacuum cleaners, we finally escaped for some much-needed entertainment with a two-for-one special of live shows. Sometimes you need Peter Kay and The Darkness to remind you there's more to life than HEPA filters and plasterboard dust.

• Peter Kay's show feels like a "greatest hits" tour with the comedian doing a tribute act to himself
• Phoenix Nights perfectly captured the characters and atmosphere of British working men's clubs
• The Darkness proved they're much more than a one-hit wonder with impressive guitar solos and rock performances
• Brazilian sweet "Rapadurhina" gets a cautious review as a first bite
• Helifest in Cornwall combines helicopters, emergency vehicles, and festival fun for families
• Skip crowded pubs after concerts and head to hotel bars instead for quicker service and comfortable seating
• Regular dental check-ups save money – £125 per filling adds up quickly when you've avoided the dentist for decades
