Rory O’Connor has three kids and, in his own words, is just about surviving a life filled with sleep deprivation, stray Lego underfoot, mashed potato on the walls and the unmatched pride that comes with being a dad!  

Having coped with the labour ward and having been lulled into a false sense of security with one child, he’s now knee deep in nappies, tackling tantrums and trying desperately to enjoy the occasional family holiday.  

The Rory’s Stories Guide to Parenting brings Rory’s trademark brilliant observations, everyday humour and down-to-earth common sense to the wonderful world of parenting. It’s the ‘guide’ to parenting we’ve all been waiting for! 

Rory O’Connor is a stand-up comedian, speaker and the mastermind behind the phenomenally successful social page Rory’s Stories. From its modest beginnings where Rory would share anecdotes, skits and observations about life as a GAA supporter, Rory’s Stories is today one of the biggest social media pages in the country, boasting an audience of over a million people – an audience so large, in fact, Rory has toured his material to sold-out audiences as far afield as Australia and the Middle East. He has previously published four bestselling books with Gill, including his memoir Rory’s Story.
