He is Britain’s most popular stand up and has been one of our biggest comedy TV stars ever with hilarious hits like Phoenix Nights and Car Share.

So it should come as no surprise that Peter Kay has plenty of stories, anecdotes and laughs along the way in his career. In his brilliant new book, Big Adventures on the Small Screen, Kay talks us through what he says are his “TV memories and adventures”.

He entered and won Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny? contest in 1997 and it was around that time he also began on TV in a 1997 episode of New Voices, a comedy series which showcased rising talent. The same year he got a slot entitled “Peter Kay’s World of Entertainment” on BBC Two’s The Sunday Show.

His first live stand up special Live at the Top of the Tower in 2000 also made him a mainstream star. And as success on stage and screen continued, he had his own series on Channel 4 called The Peter Kay Thing which then led to hit sitcom Phoenix Nights and he has never looked back.
