1. Ooooh really?
Now *that* sounds worth seeing, unlike his comedy act. Wish someone had got his fit on tape!

It was actually kind of scary
I was in the front row, and it was during the end of the show when he smashes food and some people were throwing food back at him. Not big things, but just small bits. One would think thats par for the course, right?

But he goes nuts and walks along one of the tables connected to the stage and starts kicking glasses and stuff at people. Security did nothing.

He then ended his show.

2. He's also a homophobe.
He's made some nasty, unfunny comments about gay people in his "act".

Before the pointless smashing of fruits and vegetables.

3. He's probably the worst "comedian" in the history of the craft
Did he die or something?

5. Oh I heard he sold his act to his brother.
Is that a rumor or are have two Gallaghers really done that same stale act?

7. Gallagher II
from IMDB:

His brother Ron Gallagher had a copycat comedy act called "Gallagher II", franchised by Gallagher to meet the demand for appearances. Promoters would sometimes "forget" to bill him as Gallagher II or Ron Gallagher, though, and Ron frequently got into trouble offstage, causing bad press for his brother and the act. Gallagher took him to court, and after a lengthy legal battle he was no longer allowed to perform as "Gallagher II", or use any of Gallagher's material or props.

8. I thought he was funny...
When I was 5...... but then again anyone who smashed fruit with a giant mallet was funny at that age. :P
