Gallagher (born Leo Anthony Gallagher)
is an American comedian and prop comic. He is known
for smashing watermelons, Jell-o, and sundry other
items with a sledgehammer he has dubbed his "Sledge-o-matic".
His popularity is largely based on live appearances
on a number of television specials, where those in
the front rows of the audience must protect themselves
from flying produce with plastic sheeting.
Many of his hour-long specials appeared on Comedy
Central.
Gallagher was a candidate for governor in the 2003
California recall election. He placed 16th in a field
of 135 candidates (see results of the 2003 California
recall).
Gallagher is a graduate of the University of South
Florida. |
