Peter Kay
 

Has anyone read his book yet? its absolutely hilarious, i bought it today from't thasda (£3.86) i'm only on chapter 2 but i cant stop laughing when i'm reading it, he's as funny with his writing as he is doing stand-up, when your reading the book you can imagine that broad Bolton accent he has


a great read and highly recommended

Re: Peter Kay

Re: Peter Kay
 

Re: Peter Kay
 

cheers flashy (how sad am i!! struggling to have £4 spare lol)

Re: Peter Kay
 

its ok i've put it down a few times in the last month cos i couldnt afford it, your not on yer own there

Re: Peter Kay
 

I read this book last year, it's fabulous and well worth £3.86. When it first came out in hardback it was £18. :eek:

I wasn't paying that though. That's Peter Kay's one fault in my opinion, he's a bit of a money grabber.

I paid £10 for mine because I pre-ordered it on Amazon.

It's available in the library now for anyone who doesn't want to buy it.

It's a brilliant read. :)

Re: Peter Kay
 

I read it. It is hilarious, i actually prefer the book to his stand up stuff.

Re: Peter Kay
 

i like both, he's ace

Re: Peter Kay
 

I too read it when it first came out......absolutely brilliant!!!

Re: Peter Kay
 

well ya just made me want to read it.:)

Re: Peter Kay
 

OK OK Im convinced will have to go and buy it now ..
love him hes sooooo funny .

Re: Peter Kay
 

Ok .. so I am being contrary here, read it on holiday in September, my friends had it. Sorry, but thought it was not all that good. Peter Kay does make me laugh in a stand up situation, but didn't come across too well in text. The old Carson catchprase of "It's the way I tell 'em", and that was what it smacked of to me.

Very disjointed and found it very difficult to send my face muscles up North to raise a laugh .. disappointing in my opinion (and others). Just a money making effort.

Re: Peter Kay
 

I think people were expecting it to be alot funnier than it is because of what he does for a living, but lets face it-its his autobiography,if it was full to the brim of jokes then surely it would be a joke book?!

Re: Peter Kay
 

i think what it is, i'm around the same age as Peter Kay and i can relate more to what he's going on about in the book, (please dont take that the wrong way Kate cos i do luff ya) like when he talks about the sweets that where around when we where little and things like that...i suppose it would be the same for me if i was reading a book that was published in the 70's...i wasnt around till 76 so i couldnt really relate to it




























*shaz runs away before she gets a slap*

Re: Peter Kay
 

I have also read the book and can highly recommend it, it's very funny. He should update us with a new one.Fingers crossed.

Re: Peter Kay
 

Cant say i find him that funny. He is funny in some ways but not my sort of humour.

Re: Peter Kay
 

At first i didn't like him as its very 'Northern' humour-which i just didn't get but now he has me in stitches,so much so that i asked for one of his DVDs for mothers day last year.

Re: Peter Kay
 

like you say D, its 'northern humour' and southerners dont seem to get it, i was watching one of his dvds with Stuart once (my ex from Hampshire) and he didnt have a clue what he was on about, you have to be in the right frame of mind to understand him to and to find him funny :D

Re: Peter Kay
 

Know what you mean Flashy. When my 25 year old son was home at Christmas and 2 of his mates staying with me (one a Brummie).. they put on one of his 'gigs' .. I laughed a lot at this .. and I think probably because the lads were were laughing so much, was infectious and passed the mood on to me.

Re: Peter Kay
 

I love peter kay, been a fan for years, and seen him live. Absolutely amazing.

With his books, dont find them AS funny, still entertaining, but not as good as I thought it would be.

Lee evans is another genius in my eyes lol

Re: Peter Kay
 

finished this book now, does anyone want to borrow it? you'll have to pick it up if you do :D

Re: Peter Kay
 

I read it last week!! I didn't buy it, I borrowed it.

Absolutely hilarious ..... couldn't put it down and couldn't stop laughing.

Kids kept looking at me like I was weird ( ok, maybe they had a point ) :) It does look silly sitting there p!ssing your sides laughing at a book though.

When he said " my mate won a super market sweep in Netto. The full sweep came in at £11.20 " lmao :D

Re: Peter Kay
 

lol yeah that was quite near the end of the book, its fantastic, hope he brings another one out soon....i love the names he calls the nuns...sister matic, sister sledge lol

Re: Peter Kay
 

Lmao yeah.... sister matic that had me in stitches!!

Re: Peter Kay

Re: Peter Kay

Re: Peter Kay
 

Re: Peter Kay

Re: Peter Kay
 

I have started reading it now,,,i would have loved to see those nuns faces ,when he was cocking his leg up at the tree in the school play...,i bet it was a hoot in his class...

Re: Peter Kay
 

Its brilliant! Another laugh out loud one is John Barrowman's. Its just as funny (if not funnier!) than Peter Kays. I've nearly finished it, and I only started it last night.

Re: Peter Kay
 

I suppose I could google it, but I'd rather ask: who the hell is Peter Kay?

Re: Peter Kay
 

northern comedian... is he from Bolton, Bury? cant remember! lol

Re: Peter Kay
 

Hes from Bolton.
