"Fiercely funny stories of love, angst, dreams, delusions and failure but also a collection that is sharp, honest and true."—Ardal O'Hanlon

"These stories spring from a reckless comic imagination, there's a marvellous and irresponsible wit to these pieces...a stubborn refusal to take reality seriously. They are superbly funny and delightfully composed. He's the real deal."—Tommy Tiernan
