According to The Sun, an extract from Kay’s book says: “Without a doubt, the greatest British talk show host was the late Sir Michael Parkinson. He was in a class of his own. Peter Kay will be bringing his first stand-up show in twelve years to The O2 with a monthly residency at the venue. Bolton comedian Peter Kay has announced a new book reminiscing about his television career, including his time at Granada. The audience seemed to love it and the whole idea came off much better than I ever imagined it would.”

Peter Kay is the gift that keeps on giving as, amid his exciting year of stand-up shows, he’s now set to release a new memoir. His journalistic training gave his interviews a great foundation and he was always well-researched when it came to his guests.

The beloved comedian returned to the stage late last year for the first time in 12 years, with his tour travelling across the UK and including a monthly residency at London’s O2 Arena. The description reads: "From making the tea at Granada to stardom and national adoration in Phoenix Nights and Car Share, the beloved comedian reveals stories, anecdotes and insights from his television career in his characteristically side-splitting fashion." By the end of his run, Peter will have broken the record for the most shows played at the O2 arena by an artist, with an impressive 44 shows at the venue to his name, surpassing previous record-holders Take That who have performed 34 shows.
