The Gobshite Guidebook Launch with Jarlath Regan
Receive your free copy while enjoying an evening of laughter at Avoca.
Join us as Avoca Dunboyne hosts the exclusive launch of Irish stand-up Jarlath Regan’s new book, The Gobshite Guidebook. Jarlath brings hilarity and insight while teaching us how to deal with all of life’s gobshites - and thank god as there's no shortage!
Part survival guide, part social commentary (with a dash of therapy), this book dives into the mindset, mayhem and mystery of the gobshite, with tips on how to spot them, outwit them and protect your peace. Because recognising a gobshite is step one. Not becoming one? That’s the real goal.
Enjoy fun conversation, live readings of the book, as well as a Q&A with Jarlath and Irish Times writer Patrick Freyne! Guests will also be treated to some delicious Avoca nibbles, a few bubbles and even get to take home a signed copy of The Gobshite Guidebook, published by Gill Books!
Expect a night of big laughs, great chat and a celebration of storytelling with one of Ireland’s most beloved comedians.
When: Thursday, 4th December
Where: AVOCA Dunboyne, Piercetown, Dunboyne, Co. Meath, A86 PR26
Time: Doors open at 6.30pm, Q&A to start at 7pm
The Gavin Glynn Foundation was established when 18-month old Gavin Glynn was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. After extensive chemotherapy treatment here in Ireland, Gavin had to be taken to Switzerland where they specialise in the treatment of young children and the precision radiation treatment he needed.
The Glynn family moved to Switzerland for over two months, and family and friends raised over €16,000 to cover the cost of the travel and treatment for Gavin.
Tragically, after heroically battling cancer for over two years Gavin passed away in 2014 at the very young age of four. He went through several rounds of treatment and tests in Ireland, Switzerland, Holland, and the United States. The Glynn family set up the foundation in his name to help other families of children with cancer and to encourage them to never give up hope.
We are immensely proud to support this incredible cause and to raise money and awareness in order to help families of children with cancer have access to the very best care across the world.
