Description
This memoir is a series of essays chronicling the life of Mr. Walsh while living undocumented in the US, where his entire family now lives, till his ultimate deportation. The work serves as a valid look at America's broken immigration system as well as the trials and tribulations of an aspiring actor/comedian (if not a humorous look into the world of a single male in the early 21st Century!) Mr. Walsh was born in Ireland and raised in Canada. He studied History and Theatre at McGill University in Montreal, in addition to an internship at The Abbey Theatre Dublin. In 2008 he starred in the award-winning Canadian indie film The Limits. He has since made appearances in television series, Deceived (TV One), The Secret Lives of Stepford Wives (Discovery) and Quest for Gold (National Geographic). As a comedian he studied at Toronto's The Second City and Chicago's i.o. Theater. He has performed stand-up across Canada, the US, and the UK. Having performed three times at the Edinburgh Fringe and opened for leading Irish comedians such as Ardal O'Hanlon and Meave Higgins in the US. In 2014 he appeared at the Kansas City Irish Festival. In 2014 Mr. Walsh was the recipient of New York's Bad Theater Festival's 2014 Lenny Bruce Award for Stand-Up Comedy.
