Tony Hawks is a comedian and author of the bestseller ‘Round Ireland with a Fridge’ - a story of his absurd quest to hitch round the circumference of Ireland within a month... with a fridge.
The book became a Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller in 1998, was serialised on BBC Radio 4, and led to a six month TV advertising campaign for HARP Irish Lager. It has now sold over 500,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into several languages.
His second book ‘Playing the Moldovans at Tennis’ was also serialised on BBC R4 and was short listed for both the Samuel Johnson Prize (2000) for non-fiction writing and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize (2000).
Tony has appeared frequently on TV comedy programmes such as: Have I Got News For You, They Think It’s All Over, Paul Merton, A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Red Dwarf.
He is a regular guest on radio programmes including The News Quiz, Just a Minute, and I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. He presented his own series on Radio 4, Tony Hawks’ Lost Weekends.
Tony is a regular after dinner speaker at corporate events up and down the country and his warm, dry style and aptitude for ad-libbing makes him a popular choice as a host for award ceremonies.
He has hosted The PPG Travel Awards with Joanna Lumley, The British Book Awards, The Property Awards, The Houseware Awards, The Beauty Awards and The Packaging Awards, with many of the satisfied clients having taken the opportunity to make a return booking.
