The Sound of Laughter

The Sound of Laughter

'The Sound of Laughter" is comedian Peter Kay's autobiography, released on October 5 2006. The book has been a huge success with 278,000 copies sold in its first day (including pre-orders). The book went straight in at #1 on both the Play.com and Amazon.co.uk book charts. It has now been confirmed as the No. 1 Highest Selling Autobiography in the UK, which was recognised with the release of the paperback edition of the book.

Cover

The cover of the book features Kay's head on Julie Andrews' body from "The Sound of Music". The raised effect on the head is supposed to look as if it has been cut out and stuck on, which ties in with the homely feel of the book.

Promotion

Kay has only done one promotional appearance for the book on "The Paul O'Grady Show". On the show, Peter came on dressed as a nun, with a mask of his face over his ordinary face, a parody of the cover of the book. He also criticised Billy Connolly's biography, "Billy", as well as making numerous jokes about his education by nuns. He said he had many nuns teaching him:

*Sister Sledge
*Sister Scissors
*Sister Act 2
*Sister Matic
*Sister Zar Doin-it
*Sister Swingout
*Sister O'Mercy

He added that every year, he sent a valentine's card to each nun from Jesus.
