N2  - Nobody thought Rory O'Connor would make it - written off as `thick' at school he struggled to find a career he felt he could succeed in. When a hot tip led to a win on the horses it was the beginning of a dangerous spiral into a gambling addiction that gnawed away at his self-esteem even further. How did the man who thought he had nothing to live for go on to become a stand-up comedian selling out venues around Ireland and reaching 800,000 people through his social media platforms? This is 'Rory's Story'. Told with his trademark humour, this straight-talking memoir is for anyone who wants to be inspired by an ordinary man's mental health journey
