Jason Byrne - Adventures Of A Wonky-Eyed Boy: The Short-Arse Years
Jason Byrne's side-splitting memoir of an accident prone childhood growing up on a mad road in suburban Dublin in the 70s and 80s.
Accompanied by the award-winning illustrator Nicky Phelan, you'll meet a hilarious cast of real life characters from Jason's childhood, including Jason's dad whose favourite thing is doing absolutely nothing, escaping for a jar, sitting on the jacks for hours, panicking and worrying about paying the bills; Jason's mum whose special powers include slaps, clips around the ear, doing too much, not looking after herself and pleasing others; big brother Eric whose favourite thing to do is repeatedly call Jason a spa; best mate Karl with whom Jason spends his time doing mad stuff like sliding down hills on cardboard, setting fire to their eyebrows, making swings and breaking limbs; and of course our hero: wonky-eyed, accident prone, professional rat Jason.
Join them for a mad-cap journey through a uniquely hilarious Irish childhood. Prepare to laugh out loud and weep with nostalgia for how times have changed!
