Allan Finnegan Book Launch - I Didn’t Ask For Any Of This
LiverpoolHot Water Comedy Club at Blackstock Market, 17 Blackstock Street, Liverpool L3 6ER
Doors Open: 11:30| Show: 13:00| Ends: 15:00
Join us for a special afternoon as Allan Finnegan launches his brand new book 'I Didn’t Ask For Any Of This'.

This book tells Allan’s remarkable story with warmth, humour and honesty — exploring faith, comedy, suffering and hope in the face of cancer. It’s a story that is both deeply personal and widely relatable.

To make the day even more special, the launch also falls on Allan’s birthday, so this event will be part book launch, part celebration.

During the afternoon you can expect:

Comedy performances from Ste Cookson, Tony Vino and Rob Thomas.

Reflections from Allan on the story behind the book.

A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’ve followed Allan’s journey already or are discovering his story for the first time, you’d be very welcome.
