This book gives a very funny insight into Peter Kay’s childhood and working life and you do not have to be a huge fan of his to enjoy the book immensely. His story is told with the clever whit that you would expect from one of the funniest men alive, but does not dust over the times of real life that helps make Peter the comedy hero he is today. He talks about his jobs as a teenager, his attempts to learn to drive mixed with schooldays reminiscences, frustrations with dead end jobs, family matters, about going to university and his first performances as a stand-up comedian. The book ends in 1996 which promises another feast of fun in the, hopefully, coming up sequel.
