He had a good job and a degree and everything but Colm O’Regan gave it all up to try and be a comedian. He is also a columnist, broadcaster and anything else that will keep the wolf from the door. He heard there was fierce money in books so he has written five – the three bestselling books of Irish Mammies, Bolloxology, a title which neatly sums up his skillset and Ann Devine, Ready for Her Close-Up.
