About this product

Product Information

Peter Kay's unerring gift for observing the absurdities and eccentricities of family life has earned himself a widespread, everyman appeal. These vivid observations coupled with a kind of nostalgia that never fails to grab his audience's shared understanding, have earned him comparisons with Alan Bennett and Ronnie Barker. n his award winning TV series' he creates worlds populated by degenerate, bitter, useless, endearing and always recognisable characters which have attracted a huge and loyal following. n many ways he's an old fashioned kind of comedian and the scope and enormity of his fanbase reflects this. He doesn't tell jokes about politics or sex, but rather rejoices in the far funnier areas of life- elderly relatives and answering machines, dads dancing badly at weddings, garlic bread and cheesecake, your mum's HRT... is autobiography is full of this kind of humour and nostalgia, beginning with Kay's first ever driving lesson, taking him back through his Bolton childhood, the numerous jobs he held after school and leading up until the time he passed his driving test and found fame.

  • Hit or miss? The latter I'm afraid.

    I read the whole thing but it's not especially enlightening or captivating. His live performances have made him a comedic favourite with the British public and that's what he's famous for and best at. If you're familiar with that then this book offers no surprises and very few laughs. So, unless you are so enamoured of him that you want to know every little boring twist and turn of his early life I suggest you give this literary effort a wide berth. Only the last few pages managed to hold my interest.
