‘Think of this autobiography as a twelve-month subscription to my memories and meanderings across the calendar year. With each month reflecting a different phase of my life, complete with dodgy decisions, bizarre plot twists and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments.’

Peter Kay is back – and funnier than ever – with his most heartfelt and hilarious autobiography yet. Take a whistlestop journey through his life, in a year. From hitting the gym in January, falling in love in February and a nostalgic trip to Ireland at Easter, to buying his first house in May. Then it’s summer holidays at Butlins, a September wedding and, before you know it, he’s packing away the Halloween decorations and sipping a glass of Bailey’s in front of the Christmas telly.

With his trademark warmth and wit, Peter offers a unique take on the calendar year – in a way only he can – cementing his place as one of Britain’s best-loved comedians and a true national treasure.

In this Sunday Times bestselling book, Peter Kay, a true national treasure, takes you on a journey through his life, filled with humour and heart. From his early days in the world of comedy and entertainment, to his rise as a popular celebrity, his memoirs are a testament to his unique form of performing arts.

For fans of Danny Baker (Going on the Turn), Billy Connolly (Rambling Man), Sarah Millican (How to be Champion), Romesh Ranganathan (As Good As It Gets), and Miriam Margolyes (Oh Miriam!).
