The comic will take to the stage at Dublin's 3Arena on Friday, February 1, and Saturday, February 2, 2018.
His last tour in 2010 remains in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest selling comedy tour of all time, with over 1.2 million people securing tickets.

Speaking about his comedy come-back, Peter said: “I really miss it. I know how lucky I am to be making television series and have really loved these past few years working on Car Share but I miss doing stand-up. As terrifying as it is, when it works there's nothing more fun and exciting.”
“Plus, a lot has happened in the last eight years, with Trump, Twitter and my Nan getting her front bush trimmed at the age of 96. I can't wait to get back up on stage.” he added.
His new stand up tour starts April 2018 in Birmingham and visits all major UK and Ireland arenas right through to 2019.
Tickets from €45.05 go on sale Sunday, November 19, at 10am and are available from www.ticketmaster.ie.
