Waterford Whispers News: Takes Over the World

by Colm Williamson (Author)

Synopsis

Sending up the Irish government, poking fun at megalomaniac millionaires and showing us the funny side of our obsessions with social media, emojis and Cadbury'd Creme Eggs - just a few of the things that the team at Waterford Whispers News has been getting up to lately.

Not to mention giving us comedy gold and brilliant satire on a whole range of issues, including the Marriage Referendum, 1916 commemorations, the US Presidential Election, ISIS and the Catholic church.

Media Reviews
'No one does it better on the Irish satirical landscape at calling out our foibles than the scabrous Waterford Whispers News, which published the second collection of highlights from its website in book form in the autumn. Whether its taking a pop at our politicians (#OnThisDay in 1979 Gerry Adams denied everything) or our pretentiousness (Man on 8th craft beer no longer concerned with full-bodied hoppy flavour) there'll be dozens of stories to make you smile.' Satire Book of the Year, Irish Examiner. -- Richard Fitzpatrick. * Irish Examiner *
