Really enjoyed Peter’s story of his career and experiences in TV; some great behind-the-scenes nuggets and top laughs throughout. It just goes to show what you can achieve with a dream, hard work and being a grounded, all-round good bloke. It’s been an honour and a privilege to listen…

Interesting and hilarious in equal measure

Brilliant book from start to finish. Listening to his childhood dreams coming to fruition is heart warming. Some great comedy names from past generations clearly meant a lot to Peter and paved his way into a brilliant career 🥰

Good old fashioned humour and reminiscing.

I absolutely loved the audio pulled from all of his appearances over the years, the inclusion of music from the TV shows was an added bonus and it was wonderful to hear Peters asides during the recording! Belly Laughs throughout what a wonderful career.

This was pure joy to listen to from start to finish. Peter's passion for his art shines through everything and he is so generous with his time adding so much more than what is written on the pages. This makes the listener feel valued and is much appreciated by this listener at least. Thank you Peter. I look forward to seeing you at Manchester Arena later this year when I know I am guaranteed another episode of pure laughter.

Thanks Peter!
