Peter Kay made a ridiculous plan to serve dinners for two students.
Cheeky Peter Kay has told how he managed to get two school dinners in Bolton thanks to prank she played on the dinner ladies. The comedian, 52, admitted he didn’t hold back when it came to getting as much food as possible growing up.
In a new interview airing on Radio 2 with Sara Cox, he said: “Loved school. I used to like school dinners. I used to get a dinner and I’d give a 50p. And then I’d go and sit down and eat me dinner and then I’d queue up again and say ‘I gave you a pound’. And she’d go ‘oh sorry, did I, did it?’ And she’d give me another 50p and I’d get another dinner! I used to do that. I used to be on packed lunches an all!”
Peter also described how his beloved mother occasionally served him special food items at school. He continued, “My mother used to bring pie in for me.” She used to go to the pie shop in primary school in the morning before a craft class and ask the dinner ladies, “Could you give this to Peter?” Then she would leave it, and the warmth would be kept by the family. How amusing is it that your mother constantly advises you to lose weight?
Kay, who looked in great health during TV appearances last week, also spoke about trying to lose weight and get fit in the interview which took place at the Lyric Theatre last month but aired on Radio 2 tonight.
Kay, 52, responded, “Only for the first 48 years of my life,” when Sara inquired about his weight-loss history. Yes, I eventually had to because, you don’t think about your health and other things like that? But I tried everything, including weight-loss organizations in flames. At one point, I did quite well.
He also recalled how he was first told he could become a comedian when he was just a young child.
He claimed that Mrs. White wrote it on my report card when I was seven years old. Peter prefers to amuse the children around him, according to the statement. I just used to feel at ease, making people laugh, I suppose. But I had no academic focus during the lessons. That was a challenge for me.
Kay responded, “Yeah, I was almost more comfortable making people laugh,” when Sara inquired about whether he was a bit of a class clown. It always seems like that was the only skill I ever excelled at.
Because we had nuns and real teachers, we didn’t do well in school. We had people, not just nuns. They lacked theatricality as nuns. We once engaged in an activity, but we never did drama in school. I desired to perform.
“I was always in the choir, and then I was offered the innkeeper, and then Sister Sledge told me off because I gave Mary and Joseph an ensuite with a full English without making her laugh.” But then, I stopped doing anything until I watched Wizard of Oz in my fifth year, where I competed for the lion, and received the lion. That was a real event at the time. I believed people would laugh a lot.
As a Lion, Peter said he was supposed to watch some second-form girls dance with Dorothy, Tin Man, and Scarecrow on stage in the school production in order to promote both his tour and his new book.
However, he continued, “So it went on for more than four nights, and I thought, “sod it.” So when it got that far, I got up and started dancing on stage, which received a lot of positive feedback, before going off stage and dancing to my mother. And then I noticed that these third-year girls were dressed as trees on stage because it was a forest. So I jumped up and cocked my leg against them.
Sister Sledge returned after the break and said, “This is not your show, there are other people in the show.” You must consider them. Do you want to be that when you grow up? a comedian I then wanted to say “yes.”
Peter Kay was speaking on Radio 2 about his new book, “Peter Kay’s Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy From Bolton.” Additionally, he has expanded his tour, and money raised from his Better Late Than Never performances will go toward 12 cancer charities for the final performances in the year.
Sara Cox is on Radio 2 on weekdays from 4 to 7pm while Peter Kay’s Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy From Bolton is available.
