The Sound of Laughter
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. In 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. In 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... His 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.
Saturday Night Peter
Edinburgh, Blackpool, Bolton - the glamour of it all! Picking up from where Peter's bestselling autobiography The Sound of Laughter left off, Saturday Night Peter charts the hilarious journey his career took as he left the beautiful bosom of Bolton and headed for the highway, to hone his act on the greatest stage of all - the British comedy circuit! Every Saturday night, Peter would turn up at a new venue, with a new audience to win over, and a new bunch of odd characters to share the stage with: chainsaw-juggling lizards, suicidal magicians, and some of the worst tribute acts to have ever cleared a club. As his reputation grows, Peter starts to take on gigs that he could only have dreamed of when he started out: corporate shindigs in Hong Kong and Geneva, becoming the warm-up man on Parky, taking part in the Royal Variety Performance and finally onto his legendary Live at the Top of the Tower show in Blackpool, and the garlic bread that made his name. Hilariously and heart-warmingly told, this is a must-read book for all of Peter's legions of fans and another chance to peak behind the scenes of Britain's finest comedian.
That Peter Kay Book
Peter Kay has rightfully been dubbed the King of Comedy in Britain. He is enormously successful - the DVDs That Peter Kay Thing and Phoenix Nights were the fastest sellers of their years of release; a screening of his stand - up show Live at the Bolton Albert Hall was watched by 6.7 million; and with '(Is This the Way to) Amarillo' he spent over two months at the top of the singles chart. His comedy is gentle, observational and nostalgic - everyone can relate to it and because of this his fan base really does stretch from 18 - to 80 - year - olds. Unlike anyone else of his generation he sits comfortably alongside such legends as Eric Morecambe and Les Dawson. People know that he is from Bolt...

Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights
From the Channel 4 comedy series of the same name, Phoenix Nights is set in a Bolton working man's club. It's third-time lucky for wheelchair-bound owner Brian Potter, as we join him at the gala opening of his new venue, The Phoenix, rising from the ashes of the ill-fated burnt-down Neptune.
Show Me the Way to Santiago
Each year, thousands of people walk the various pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela in North west Spain. This book is about the author's personal pilgrimage, following the less frequently travelled route of the Via de La Plata from Seville to Santiago, a distance of 1,006 kilometres. It's also about the people he met along the way, their stories, adventures together and most of all, the most valuable of commodities which seem so undervalued these days: humanity and friendship.
