About this listen
Robert Sheehan is one of Ireland’s brightest stars of the screen, both at home and abroad. Best known for his roles in Love/Hate and The Umbrella Academy, Sheehan has received widespread critical acclaim for his acting talent
In his debut collection of short stories, Robert Sheehan disappears into characters, challenging the complacencies of everyday experience, often from entirely unexpected angles.
Informed by the author’s peripatetic life, Disappearing Act reflects on the absurdity of human behaviour. Sheehan delves deep into his characters’ streams of self-talk and self-imposed delusions, exploring the dark impulses that lurk below the shiny surfaces of many outwardly normal lives.
Dark, provocative and often humorous, the collection will stay with the listener long after the audiobook is finished.

“A dazzlingly eclectic collection of short stories.” (Ben Elton)
“Lots of great stories and voices. Reminded me of Irvine Welsh’s short stories.” (Frankie Boyle)

Light heated, funny and easy listening with narration at its finest.
This is not my normal type of book I listen to in the car, however, I was intrigued by all the different stories. I loved the way Robert narrated the stories, each one made me giggle and I could relate to most of them. This book made my journey, to and from work, sat in traffic enjoyable.
I am very keen to hear further work written and narrated by Robert! It is a very enjoyable book, and I am glad that I stepped away from my normal listening and downloaded this book. 🥰 I love Robert’s work on screen and now in books. He is a very talented young man! 🥰🥰

Very well written
Beautifully articulated, I love his work as an actor and its nice to see a deeper, complex but still hilarious side of Robert especially now as an author. I am really looking forward to delving into his next piece(s) whenever it comes out. He should be proud 😊
