School Daze with Bernard O'Shea: 'Lads I knew from school can't believe I became a comedian'


My most vivid memory of primary school is not being able to do maths. The teachers tried their best with me but I just couldn’t do it. So, I ended up learning the times tables like a poem and when it came to sums I would have to write them down — for example, seven plus seven equals fourteen. Before I went into each school year I’d learn off the answers in the maths book so it would look like I knew what I was doing.
