Peter Kay Show Evacuated Due to Suspicious Bag

On May 1st, Peter K's stand-up show at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham got cut short last night after just 45 minutes on stage.

The 52-year-old comedian started at 8 p.m. on May 1st, but around 8.45, everyone had to evacuate due to a suspicious backfound inside.

Security bundled K offstage quick, and production crew told the crowd the gig wouldn't go on.

Fans were left in the dark with no real explanation at first, as police rolled up to handle the situation.

Attendee's described a chaotic scene, spilling out of the arena while cops swept the place.

It hit hard for folks who traveled far, for the rare Peter K performance, his first big tour in years.

West Midlands Police confirmed they nabbed a 19-year-old man in connection, holding him in custody now.

They're searching the site as a precaution, calling it a potential threat.

We'll keep eyes on updates as this unfolds, but for now, shows like this remind us, safety always trumps the laughs.

Stay tuned for more on K's comeback trail.
