With more than 250,000 followers on social media, Mayo man Alan Clarke is quickly becoming one of the best-known and popular content creators in Ireland. His hilarious sketches, social media fame and insightful podcasts have catapulted him towards hugely successful ‘Big News Coming Soon’ live shows at packed-out venues. But in this candid account of his life to date, Clarke lifts the lid on many of his struggles from a young age and challenges which follow him to this very day.

He charts his journey from the relative safety of full-time employment to life as a serial entrepreneur and the ups and downs of various business initiatives, including how a neighbour’s missing donkeys became a lightbulb moment on his journey to online fame! This is a story of his difficulties and resilience, and has lots of laugh-out loud moments. It is a compelling insight into his life and the world of the often-maligned social media influencers.


Alan Clarke lives in Castlebar, County Mayo with his loyal companion, Kookie. This is his first book and now that he’s a published author, he feels he is at least 89 per cent famous! He has a quarter of a million followers across social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok with very high engagement levels for his humorous content. Alan left school early and has had a rollercoaster journey since – working as a carpenter, a supermarket manager, DJ and radio presenter, and now hosts the hugely successful ‘Big News Coming Soon’ podcast and live shows. He has had several business initiatives over the years too. He has won two prestigious ‘Gossies’ for his content and has raised several thousand euro in various charity fundraisers.
