After leaving school with a GCSE in art, he held a series of jobs including working as a cinema usher, mobile disc jockey, in a factory packing toilet rolls, garage attendant and in a bingo hall. After a Btec in Performance Studies, he went on to win the 1997 So You Think You're Funny contest at the Edinburgh Festival and was nominated for the Perrier Award the following year. Peter Kay's first TV series was That Peter Kay Thing, followed by Phoenix Nights series 1 snd 2. The series Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere was a spin off from Phoenix Nights.

- The number one bestselling autobiography of Britain's most popular comedian
- Main description
- What to say about this book? The hardback was the fastest selling autobiography ever and cemented Peter Kay's (deserved) reputation as Britain's most popular comedian. With his unerring eye for the absurdities of life, he begins the book with his first ever driving lesson, describes his Bolton upbringing and his many jobs after leaving school leading up to the point where he passed his driving test and found fame. Richard Dawkins may not have enjoyed it, but thousands of other readers certainly did, and this paperback is sure to be a winner.
- Review quote
- "His autobiography is filled to the very brim with funny bits" heat "He is every bit as amusing on the page as he is in person... Hilarious" Sunday Express "The Sound of Laughter provides as complete a picture of its subject's world view and creative evolution as any comedian's autobigraphy I can think of" Independent on Sunday "J. K. Rowling can't compete. Nor can Dan Brown. By selling more than a million copies in hardback, the highest figure since records began, this autobiography by the comedian Peter Kay has become a minor miracle" The Times
