review 1: A light-hearted account of Peter's rise to fame & fortune with many insights of the less than glamorous lifestyle of stand-up comics on tour. You will probably only read this if you like Peter Kay but it is full of amusing stories that should appeal to all. The photos help to illuminate the text. There is no place for the private side of Peter. I would liked to have found out more about his mother and her influence on his career and his father is not mentioned, at all. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
review 2: Great account of Peter Kay's years as a stand-up which finishes at the end of the "Mum Want's A Bungalow" tour- a tour poignant for me as I went to one of those gigs and it was my first ever arena gig experience.Back to the book, this was more ... morestructured than his previous Sound Of Laughter book, so had an easier flow as opposed to his initial scattered approach. Also great to read parts of his material, which you will be familiar with if you have seen the DVDs. Good to see they still draw a smile to your face. This book is definitely worth the read if you are a fan or have enjoyed his stand up material. less
