Nicola tweeted: " Laughter won't cure glioblastoma but it's definitely a blimmin' good distraction for a couple of hours. "

On why he decided to price the cheapest tickets at £35 - the same as they were during his 2010 tour - Kay told BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball: " You've got to meet people half-way, it's bad times, plus that's why people need a laugh. "
