  It was love at first taste for fifteen-year-old Tadhg Hickey when he drank a can of Scrumpy Jack on the night of his exam results. Straight away it provided a cure for that constant feeling of 'something wrong, something not quite right', a way of numbing anxiety and childhood trauma. He realised he was extraordinarily good at drinking and energetically threw himself into a life of pubs, parties and staying pissed, while also managing to become a comedian. But alcohol had the last laugh ...A Portrait of the Piss Artist as a Young Man shows us the often-hilarious lengths of self-deception an alcoholic will go to, the horrific consequences of addiction and the redemptive process of recovering from this deadly but ultimately treatable illness, and remaining sober. A deeply touching memoir and with a side of self-help, Tadhg's easy-going writing style belies his serious message - that each of us has the power to change our lives.

  How to forget your girlfriend?

  This is a funny and sarcastic guide about “forgetting” someone you once loved. 
  Step 1 starts in the most confusing way — first forget that you ever loved someone! Then try very hard to remember when you loved her. If you cannot remember, write her name in pencil. If you even forget the spelling, search in a dictionary or encyclopedia for 24 and a half hours. If you still cannot find it, finally declare her as “nameless.” 
  This comedy piece plays with memory, confusion, and overthinking in a dramatic and lazy way. It shows how the harder you try to forget, the more you remember. Light, humorous, and slightly silly — perfect for readers who enjoy exaggerated emotional comedy.

  Walter Matthews kills himself and arrives in Heaven's Waiting Room, where he witnesses a misdeed that quickly culminates in the abduction of the Almighty. Getting God back is a responsibility charged to Creation's Vice President, Jesus H. Christ, who isn't quite sure he's up to the job. So begins an inter-Dimensional adventure with a cast of trillions, in which Jesus and Walter have to restore the Good Lord to His throne before All Existence is destroyed. 
    
  Mad, cheeky, satirical, and yet thoroughly human and warm. A great, mind-bending, screwed-up, curly-worded story. A ripping, runaway ride through the realms of the afterlife.
