Corn Flakes for Dinner

What do you do when both of your daughters have been diagnosed with autism, your wife is depressed and your job has been made redundant? You become a comedian! After years of feeling like he was losing at life, Aidan Comerford was on top of the world. He had just stepped off stage after being crowned the winner of So You Think You're Funny? at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014, joining previous winners such as Peter Kay, Dylan Moran and Tommy Tiernan. This was it! His big break. Back in Ireland, on the same day, at a remote country cottage near a lake, his daughter went missing . A funny, heartfelt and uplifting memoir about the challenges and adventures of parenting, and accepting that sometimes you have to have Corn Flakes for dinner.

Aidan Comerford won So You Think You're Funny? at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014. He has also performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and the Vodafone Comedy Festival. He lives in Ashbourne with his wife Martha and daughters Ailbhe and Sophie.
