The Talking TradesmanYou never really know what’s behind the smile. We know Jimmy O’Neill as The Wigan Joker. The comedian. The character. The man whose job is to make other people laugh. @thewiganjoker But behind that humour is a childhood shaped by things no child should have had to witness. In this incredibly honest moment, Jimmy talks about the violence his mum endured, the devastating loss of a baby, and the two completely different influences that surrounded him growing up: a fiercely loving and protective mother, and a father who could feel cold and distant. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the people who make us laugh the loudest have carried some of the heaviest stories. There’s always a person behind the performance. Jimmy’s full episode of The Talking Tradesman is available now on all platforms. #TheWiganJoker #JimmyONeill #TheTalkingTradesman #MensMentalHealth #BehindTheSmile
