Funny as expected.
Typical Peter Kaye style and fast wit. Liked the added bits they were an amusing bonus.

Very entertaining
I love Peter Kay and listening to him narrate his life story was every bit as enjoyable as I thought it would be, he kept me company in the car to and from work and had me laughing like an idiot, great story

Very entertaining, if very "regional"
I thoroughly enjoyed this auto-biographical comedy. Many of the references are very specific to the region (NW of England) and also the era (70s - 90s) which means that some of it would probably lost on listeners from other regions and especially other countries or those born in the 90s and after. However, I am not one of those. I was born late 60s in the NW so the humour and references really resonated with me. Recommended.

Like him even more after listening to this audiobook
Laid back, unassuming Peter Kay effortlessly entertains with anecdotes from his life. Funny and poignant. Didn’t want it to end.

Sean
It’s a fantastic story of a man who deserved all the success he got. Having Pete (he won’t mind me calling him that) read the book offers 20% more giggles much like a promotional bottle of Rola Cola.
Amen

Loved it, so many chuckles
Proper giggling and as a 70’s baby from the north west a lot was familiar. The extra, non book parts were also fab! Thanks Mr Kay

simply excellent
I read the book 10 years ago, this was even better! Peter Kay reading it and adding his own commentary had me in fits the whole time
