Author: MacDermott, Karl
Format: Paperback

Meet Roddy Bodkin. Age 43. He has recently lost his job.

His long-term girlfriend is tiring of him. He feels he is getting old and life is passing him by. Can things get any worse? Oh boy.

Definitely. Yes. Because he now wants to try his hand at becoming a stand-up comedian.

Set in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, 58% Cabbage chronicles the hapless adventures of a middle-aged Everyman as he grapples with both a sense of loss and a loss of sense while attempting to pursue his comedy dreams. Calamity and hilarity accompany Roddy Bodkin on his odyssey through funerals, sex, friendship, part-time employment, memory, bad TV, family and Ireland.
