Peter Kay's October comeback: Simple way to listen in for free

Comedy icon Peter Kay is finally back on the circuit, with a tour announced this summer, and an autobiographical book on the way.

Tickets for many of his shows have sold out, but the book will launch in October - and it's set to be a belter.

Described as a "twelve-month subscription to Peter's memories and meanderings across the calendar year", the book will explore his comings and goings in a typically hilarious way.

From hitting the gym in January, falling in love in February and a nostalgic trip to Ireland at Easter, to buying his first house in May, fans of Peter Kay will love being part of a busy 12 months.

Pre-orders for the hardcover edition cost £19.99, and there's a Kindle Edition at £10.99, but Peter's unmistakable northern intonation will be gracing the audiobook, which launches at the same time.

The audiobook will be available on the Audible platform, which is accessibly by a membership fee that allows you to buy credits.

You'll need one credit to preorder Peter Kay's book, but there's a free trial offer for Amazon Prime members that gives you three months - and, more importantly, three credits.

So you could preorder Peter Kay's Diary ready for downloading in October, and listen to other books in the meantime. Including, for example, The Sound of Laughter, or TV.

Normally each of Peter's three books would cost £12.99 each, so it's a decent saving, and the three-month trial lasts until the end of July, so there's plenty of time to sign up.

You can cancel the trial at any time and still keep the credits, and if you do choose to carry on after the three months, it's just £8.99 per month.

If you're not a Prime member you'll need to sign up by clicking here and, guess what, there's a free trial for that too.

So it's a great time to get started on Audible, line up some listens, and enjoy the freebie while it lasts.
