Dulwich Books welcome Chris O’Dowd & Nick Murphy on Tuesday 28th October to chat about their new book Moone Boy, the prequel to their Emmy award-winning TV series.

Chris & Nick will be chaired by John Finnemore, British comedy writer and actor who will endeavour to keep them under control!

Martin Moone is eleven and completely fed up with being the only boy in a family of girls. He’s desperate for a decent wingman to help him navigate his idiotic life. So when best mate Padraic suggests Martin get an imaginary friend or ‘IF’ for short, he decides to give it a go.

The event will be held in Dulwich Books with a limited 40 places up for grabs to hear Chris and Nick read from and chat about the book.Tickets are £6 for a book & entry or £3 for entry. Book now!
