At last…the Bob Blog!

A couple of key “components” of ADHD are procrastination and over-thinking. With those things in mind…and they are always on my mind, except for when I say to myself “I’ll over-think that later”…welcome to the website I’ve been promising to build since 2008. After over-thinking the design of the website for 10 years, in 2018 I made the decision to keep it simple and start work at the beginning of next week. It turns out that Mondays are no good for me and Tuesdays are usually spent dealing with the fall-out from Monday. Wednesday is a great day to reschedule everything to the following Monday. Anyway…263 postponements later, here we are.

Jokes aside (Everyone who is not Bob: “Wow, are these jokes, Bob?”), the last 20 or so months since being diagnosed with ADHD have been some of the best. The positive change that I’ve experienced in almost every aspect of my life has been profound. Including comedy! September and October have been huge months for me what-with supporting the legendary John Colleary on his national “Loud & Colleary” tour and also Reginald D. Hunter in Sligo and my own lovely Ballina in the county of Mayo.

AND! Next week I’m back on stage at Ireland’s Smallest Comedy Club on Thursday October 26th as part of the Galway Comedy Festival, in a show that includes Edwin Sammon, Aideen McQueen and Johnny Graham. Then, on Friday October 27th, I’ll be performing my solo show “It Doesn’t ADhD Up” in the Dew Drop Inn, again, as part of the Galway Comedy Festival.

Then, on Sunday October 29th, I will once again be supporting John Colleary on the final leg of his tour as he closes out the Galway Comedy Festival on the main stage in the Roisin Dubh. Phew!

But that’s not all! I will also be appearing at a ADHD Ireland events in Portlaoise and Dublin on Monday November 20th and Thursday November 30th respectively. More information in the coming days and weeks from ADHD Ireland website.

As for the incredible journey of the last few years, big shouts out and lots of love to my family, my friends old and new and my comedy brethern and sestern, especially Selina and Ringo. (How do I do the heart symbol on this yoke!? <3 used to work on Tumblr!)
