Explore the raw and unflinching life story of PJ Gallagher in his memoir Madhouse. This captivating book delves into a childhood marked by a unique upbringing within a family pub, a period of immense chaos involving psychiatric patients under his mother's care, and the often-unconventional lessons learned along the way. PJ recounts his early life, including the fantastical thoughts of adoption and the realities of navigating a household with adults who often struggled with alcohol. He candidly shares his journey through school, his early departure, and his discovery of a talent for comedy that led to popular television shows like Naked Camera and iconic characters. The narrative doesn't shy away from his experiences in the groundbreaking series The Young Offenders and his eventual arrival in radio. Madhouse also powerfully addresses PJ's struggles with mental breakdown and his time in a psychiatric hospital, offering profound insights into resilience and self discovery. Most surprisingly, the book touches upon the unexpected prospect of becoming a father in his late forties, a turn of events he never envisioned given his past perception of family as a potential constraint. This is a riotous, funny, insightful, and moving account of one man's quest to stay afloat and ultimately find meaning and a sense of belonging. Available for 19.95.
