The UK’s favourite Peter Kay comedy sketch of all time is Garlic Bread, according to a new poll. Italian American restaurant Frankie & Benny’s commissioned the survey to celebrate Peter Kay’s UK stand-up tour.
Two thousand British fans voted and the nation’s favourite comedy sketch about a dad’s disbelief that there’s such a thing as Garlic Bread topped the poll. The comedy fans polled were shown a list of Peter’s best loved moments and asked to vote for their favourites, creating a top twenty list of Peter Kay sketches of all time.
The poll saw over a third (33%) of all fans vote for Garlic Bread but it was closely followed by Misheard Lyrics (I Believe The Hot Dogs Will Go On - rather than My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion) and That’ll be £3.42, Would You Like the 42p?!
To celebrate, Frankie & Benny’s will be giving away free Garlic Bread to all customers at the 02 Greenwich on December 16, the day Peter starts his first sell out date in London.
Frankie & Benny’s Head of Brand, Sasha Storey, said: “Peter Kay is right, garlic bread is the future which is why it’s one of our most popular dishes! We wanted to celebrate the genius of Peter Kay and how much Frankie & Benny guests love his comedy by giving away free garlic bread! Yes, that’s right, bread with garlic on it!”
