�The Road to McCarthy is mercilessly, relentlessly funny�McCarthy is an accomplished writer, snappy and shrewd�� Terry Eagleton

�the funniest book I�ve read this year� John Walsh The Independent

�a hilariously funny writer� The Times

Pete McCarthy�s first book McCarthy�s Bar sold half a million copies in less than a year, beating Bill Bryson and Louis de Bernieres to the no. 1 bestseller slot. His second book, The Road to McCarthy is also an international bestseller and sees the irrepressible Pete take a journey from Cork and Belfast to Morocco, New York, Tasmania, Monserrat and Alaska.

Pete McCarthy is a brilliant live performer who has previously been nominated for a Perrier Award and served time as resident compere at The Comedy Store. He is in much demand at literary festivals, theatres, and Irish pubs around the world.

�McCarthy had a sell-out crowd rolling in the aisles at the Melbourne Writers Festival� The South China Morning Post
