New book offers a social commentary on the Irish tendency to self-aggrandise

Colm O’Regan had run out of things to say about Irish mammies, hence his new book, a social commentary with a wry chuckle that describes the Irish tendency to self-aggrandise, reports Ed Power

Colm O’Regan is an Irish Mammies boy no more. The Cork stand-up gained a cult fanbase by tapping into his inner small-town mater, via a dryly hilarious Twitter feed and three best-selling books.

However, with the fetishisation of Irish culture approaching a tipping point (the endless online articles debating the merits of King v Tayto, etc) he’s struck out for fresh comedic pastures with his book, Bolloxology.
