Adventures of a Wonky-Eyed Boy - Hardcover
A laugh-out-loud memoir that captures the childhood adventures of an accident-prone youngster in 1970s and 1980s suburban Dublin.
It was a time when your brother persuaded you to eat the grease behind the cooker by telling you it was caramel, your house was blown up by lightning, your dad mixed up the toothpaste and the hemorrhoid cream, and you fell asleep on Sunday nights to the sound of one of the neighbors - who were all named Paddy - drunkenly singing 'Magic Moments' in the good front room. All of this while trying to stop your wonky eye from giving the game away.
Jason Byrne's childhood adventures are nostalgic, heart-warming and, above all, hilarious.
'When you read this you'll realise Jason might actually be the normal one in his family, ' John Bishop.
'I loved this book so much I wanted to cover it in wallpaper and write to all my pen pals about it! Amy Huberman
'A comedy god, ' The Mirror.
'Outright king of live comedy, ' The Times.

About the Author:
Review:
The biggest-selling comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Jason Byrne's television credits include The John Bishop Show (BBC One), Snaptastic (TV3), Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Wild Things (Sky 1) and Anonymous (RTE2). Jason's radio credits include Just A Minute (BBC Radio 4), Father Figure (BBC Two), and three series of The Jason Byrne Show (BBC Radio 2), for which he won the Sony Radio Gold Award for Best Comedy in 2011. Jason has performed in New York, Boston, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Milan, Paris and Australia.
Byrne has near total recall of his eventful and rather idyllically happy Irish childhood, and in this book stuffed with loveable eccentrics and full on weirdoes, he shows us exactly how he came to be the celebrated funnyman he is. --Irish Voice
