Peter Kay - Early Days

Although brought up a Catholic Peter Kay was not inspired by the religious element of the school. He does recall many instances of giving the nuns a hard time through practical jokes. One of his earliest comic performances was actually during a school production of “The Wizard of Oz”. To the nuns displeasure Peter Kay had missed several rehearsals so he was supposed to remain static, but the young Peter Kay couldn’t resists the temptation to run down from the stage entertaining the audience with his comic acting. Peter Kay recalls the experience.

Yet despite Peter Kay’s natural comic talent, for several years after leaving school, he worked his way through several part time jobs. These included working in a factory, warehouse, a petrol station and a Bingo hall. All these early experiences gave Peter Kay material for later tv performances. One of his early DVDs called the “Peter Kay Thing” featured several characters such as “The Oldest Newspaper” boy in Britain. This was based on a real life character called Leonard. Leonard was an eternally cheerful, evangelical Christian who enjoyed buying stuff from charity shops. Peter Kay befriended this unusual and slightly weird character and one was one of 4 people who attended his funeral.
