Who is Gallagher, really?

I love the comedian, Gallagher, but what is his real name? How did his carrer start?

His full real name is Leo Gallagher. There has been a lawsuit recently with his brother Ron, who was authorized to do “Gallagher 2”, until Leo decided he didn’t want him doing it anymore, and Ron seems to think he’s got as much right to assasinate watermelons as his brother. Start here:

Of course, Gallagher and Steven Wright are two prominent sources for the “How come we park on the driveways and drive on the parkways?” type things which apparently annoy Cecil and staff no end. IMO, he’s funnier doing that kind of stuff, too, rather than making new and novel messes on the stage.

he also recently had a heart attack. this was like two months ago or so. don’t know how he’s doing now though. I’ve always like him, saw him a few months ago, MAy or something, he likes to bust on the town he’s in too.
