Karl MacDermott is an Irish-born comedy writer. He has written jokes no one has laughed at, radio plays no one has listened to, a television series no one watched and a novel “The Creative Lower Being” no one read.

He should be a very morose individual but he is not because he is deeply passionate about facilitating his delusions.

Over the years he has contributed many satirical articles to The Irish Times and has seen his flash fiction pieces appear in such online magazines as Every Day Fiction, Pure Slush, Molotov Cocktail, Literary Orphans and The Big Jewel.

His latest novel “Ireland’s Favourite Failure” is available on Amazon Kindle.

He is currently writer-in-residence at his home in Dublin.
